Aiden Contreras

Undergraduate Researcher

Aidan is a dual-enrolled student at Garcia Early College High School and Texas A&M International University (TAMIU), where he is pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. He is strongly interested in applying his work ethic and scientific training to the pharmaceutical field. Aidan’s interest in chemistry began in sixth grade, when he was first introduced to the periodic table and learned how a limited number of elements form the basis of the human body. This early exposure sparked a lasting curiosity about the role of chemistry in human health. Through academic and research opportunities at TAMIU, Aidan aims to contribute to research that benefits both the university and the broader community. Improving human health is one of his core values, and he hopes to make meaningful contributions through research that positively impacts people’s lives.
