Donato Rivas, a research associate professor at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC, joined the Army right out of high school, a decision that would put him on a path toward ultimately helping soldiers heal faster.
New Fralin Biomedical Research Institute researcher Sarah Lessard hopes her research will help people with metabolic disease and chronic illnesses lead healthier lives.
