Ava Devine

II joined the Bennett Lab in November 2024 as a research technician. I graduated from Roger Williams University in May 2024 with a bachelor's degree in biology and minor in sustainability studies. During my undergrad, I worked as a research assistant examining how diverse viral and bacterial genes influence viral-host interactions in the Genetics and Virology department. My current research in the Bennett Lab includes immunohistochemistry, processing and imaging brain tissue samples, as well as tissue culture techniques. In the future, I plan to apply to graduate school and keep participating in research!
