About Lauren
Lauren recently graduated from Drake University with a BS in Chemistry, and is a student in the Microbiology PhD program at CSU. Her undergraduate senior seminar focused on the effects of buffer pH on the high-performance liquid chromatography retention times of basic dyes. At CSU, she is interested in studying bacteria and antibiotic resistance, as well as clinical applications of research. She has spent several summers in two microbiology labs, and has two years of experience in an analytical chemistry lab. Outside of school, Lauren enjoys reading, spending time with friends, and walking with her dog.
