Natalie Culler

I was born and raised in Southwest Florida and moved to New England for undergrad. I graduated from the University of Vermont with a B.S. in Microbiology & Molecular Genetics in 2022. While there I supported the school's genomics core, assisted in rotavirus vaccine research and TAed for many teaching labs. After graduating I joined the Ragon Institute and studied the role of bacterial interactions and small molecules in modulating the vaginal microbiome towards a health associated state. My love for microbiology began in middle school and has propelled me to pursue my PhD here at Dartmouth. When I am not in the lab I am usually teaching/practicing yoga, taking care of my plants, skiing or watching movies!
