Emily Rosenbaum, B.A.

Emily Rosenbaum graduated from Clark University with a B.A. in Biology, a concentration in Bioinformatics, and a minor in Computer Science. She conducted undergraduate research in Dr. Nathan Ahlgren’s lab, exploring the genomic diversity of Thaumarcheotal species by producing a phylogenetic tree based on the species’ common genes. In this lab, Emily also built a pipeline to process the ITS regions of Synechococcus genomic sequences. In addition, she researched the mechanism and function of toxin-antitoxin systems in Synechococcus. Emily was a summer intern at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in the Fungal Genomics Group, where she helped process Candida auris patient samples, generate a phylogenetic tree, and search for genetic mutations associated with fungus’ strong drug resistance.
