The 2021 Alumni Spotlight, co-sponsored by the EKU International Alumni Association, features Dr. Derrick J. Morton, Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences, Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine.
Though biology was not originally in his plans, an incredibly bright mind and mentorship from EKU faculty helped Derrick Morton find his path. Named as one of the ‘100 inspiring black scientists in America’ and a ‘rising star in the biomedical world’ Dr. Morton is committed to his profession and paving the way for underrepresented students in the STEM disciplines.
