Elizabeth is an MD-PhD student in the Harvard-MIT HST program. She originally joined the Kwon lab in 2011, when she was an undergraduate at Harvard, and began learning how the microbiome and hormones alter the immune environment of the female genital tract. After college, she headed to Oxford University, where she earned an MSc in Immunology and an MSc in Statistics and explored sex bias in multiple sclerosis incidence using statistical genetics. Back at Harvard, she is once again studying the mucosa of the female genital tract, now at a single-cell level. In her free time, she enjoys traveling, running, trips to the beach, and quality time with dogs.
