About Arielle

Arielle Glass is a graduate research assistant and Ph.D. student in the Cell and Molecular Biology program at Colorado State University, where she is developing an inactivated whole-virus vaccine against H5N2 avian influenza in chickens. Her passion for virology and public health led her to earn a Master of Science in Public Health Microbiology and Emerging Infectious Diseases from George Washington University, where she contributed to SARS-CoV-2 and arbovirus research in high-containment labs. Arielle has previously managed BSL-3 mosquito vector studies at CSU and participated in NIH- and CDC-funded projects focused on emerging infectious diseases. With a strong foundation in virus inactivation, immunoassays, and animal models, she is dedicated to advancing vaccine research. Outside the lab, she enjoys mentoring undergraduate researchers and supporting public health initiatives.
