Julie Chen, 5th year graduate student

5th year graduate student
Blainey Lab, Microbiology, Broad

Julie is a Microbiology PhD student in the Blainey lab where she performs high throughput combinatorial assays to discover novel antibiotic combination therapies. With this same technology, she aims to also learn more about microbial ecology – namely, of bacteria and phages. While completing her B.Sc. in Molecular Genetics and Microbiology from the University of Toronto, she discovered her passion for accessible communication. Julie strives for a minimalistic style which is also revealed in her artwork. In addition to science, communication, and art, she enjoys cooking and dreaming about trying food from all around the world.
