Bio:
Dr. Anton Dormer was born to immigrant parents within the City of New York. His mother is from the Caribbean Islands of Guadeloupe FWI and his father is from Jamaica. Both of them where very influential in Dr. Dormer entering the healthcare field. Dr. Dormer grew up in a household where education was valued. Both his parents were in school throughout his educational experience from elementary, high school, college, and even medical school. They come to the United State without a high school and over 30 years went from having not even a high school degree to obtaining their college, masters, and doctoral degrees. Dr. Dormer has also an interesting education pursuit with many up and down.
For example, he started out with the wrong person during the 10th grade and barely went to his classes. When he graduated from high school, he had less than a 3.00 GPA. It would seem that his dream that his had since his earliest memory would be dashed. To make matter worst and teacher would did not care for him much gave him a very poor grade in Chemistry which was a surprise to him and to his mother, who actually cried at his graduation. Dr. Dormer was a nerd and his social skills was not the best. Even so, it was during high school in which a teacher took him under his wing. Ms. So' Brien, who was his science teacher, took him under her wing and he became her teacher's assistant. During his 11th and 12th grade he was making all of her labs for her science class. It was this experience that propel Dr. Dormer is decided during that time to become a physician scientist. In addition, during this time he learned about the Black American scientist Percy Julian, who also owned his own company and was a self-made millionaire. I said to myself if he could accomplish so much during the time of segregation that I do even better during this hear and now.
I made a goal after high to graduate at the top of my class from college with no C on my transcript and in four years. I was able to accomplish that goal, graduating from Oakwood University Summa Cum Laude with no Cs on his transcript and in four years. He was also accepted to several medical schools. He had a passion for research and so during medical school he was able to work during the summer on projects involving the areas of diabetes and immunology. Upon finishing medical he went on to work in the area of health administration. He has been able to work at several education settings including teacher as the associated professor at Atlantic Union College (AUC) and Washington Adventist University (WAU).
He was recruited to WAU to bring research to the institution. It become a struggle since there was no faculty research environment to bring this opportunity to the school. However, in the middle of this disappointment was able to start PepVax, Inc in 2013. The company focuses of licensing and developing targeted human health solutions via it patent protected technology called SMARTmid(tm), which heck-invented. Several companies has spun off from PepVax, making Dr. Dormer a serial entrepreneur. In 2019, he started BioLabShare, LLC when he was trying find affordable wet lab bioresearch space in Baltimore. The mission of the company is to address the current shortage of wet lab bioresearch space while diversifying human healthcare solutions.
