About me

I'm an Acting Assistant Professor in the Division of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (DAID) within the Department of Medicine at the University of Washington in Seattle. In collaboration with other DAID faculty such as Wes Van Voorhis and Henry Rosen, I do research on drug development for infectious diseases caused by pathogens such as Plasmodium and E. coli.

I grew up in Rutland, Vermont and attended Rutland High School. This was followed by undergraduate studies at Williams College, graduate work with Kevin Conley and Marty Kushmerick in the UW Department of Physiology & Biophysics, a year of teaching at the University of Puget Sound, and a postdoctoral fellowship with Mary Lidstrom in the UW Departments of Microbiology and Chemical Engineering.
