The condition of a Brock alumnus continues to improve\u00a0after he was\u00a0severely injured in a <\/span>shooting at a New<\/span><\/a> York City hospital last week<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Justin Timperio (BSc \u201910), of St. Catharines, was one of six people wounded after a former employee of Bronx-Lebanon Hospital opened fire Friday, killing one doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Timperio, a 29-year-old medical resident at the hospital, was shot between six and nine times. He underwent two surgeries Monday that his father Luciano Timperio said, <\/span>in an interview with CBC<\/span><\/a>, went \u201cvery well,\u201d though a long road to recovery remains ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n

News of the shooting came as a shock to Travis Dudding, an associate professor in Brock\u2019s Department of Chemistry, who worked with Timperio during his time at the University.<\/span><\/p>\n

After word broke, calls and e-mails quickly began pouring in from people across campus and from other post-secondary institutions who were reaching out for word on Timperio\u2019s condition.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Biotechnology grad left quite an impression on many people he encountered during his time at the University, Dudding said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJustin took a number of my classes,\u201d he recalled. \u201cHe was an exceptional student, a pleasure to work with. It was obvious from the day I met him that he would be successful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Timperio participated in an undergraduate thesis course that led to a joint publication with a colleague at the University of Montreal about understanding the mechanism of metastasis \u2014 the development of secondary malignant growths at a distance from a primary site of cancer. Publications of that nature are \u201cpretty rare\u201d for an undergraduate student, Dudding said, which only further speaks to Timperio\u2019s abilities.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
