Garrett Chin

Garrett Chin is a third year Animal Science major with a minor in Global Disease Biology at UC Davis on the pre-veterinary track. He joined the Shapiro Lab as an undergraduate researcher in Fall 2026 looking to deepen his understanding of the connection between veterinary medicine and disease ecology through a One Health approach. He is also a research assistant for the Hess Lab, where he focuses on understanding rumen microbial systems through in-vitro experimentation. Garrett is curious to learn more about potential pathways in the veterinary field as he continues to gain new experiences. Outside of labs, he spends his time going on side quests with friends, watching new shows, and enjoys being at beaches surfing.
