When Eladio Abreu set out to become a biologist, he says it seemed to him like a thing of science fiction. Abreu didn’t know any Black scientists and he often wondered if he’d chosen the right path. However, mentors from his studies at Morehouse College and the University of Georgia encouraged him to keep going.
Now, as a senior lecturer in Emory’s Department of Biology, Abreu strives to be the mentor he always needed.
