Biography

I received my Ph.D. in the Comparative Biomedical Science (CBMS) program, University of Wisconsin-Madison. Understanding the virulence mechanisms of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. My endless passion was always to work in mycobacterial research. In my current role as Postdoctoral scientist in the Coler Lab at Seattle Children’s Research Institute (SCRI) I work on advancing the diagnostic approaches for early detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). We develop novel and translational preclinical models of mycobacterial disease, examine pathology as a critical efficacy readout, assess innate and adaptive immune responses to vaccination, and strive to elucidate immune correlates of protection.
