Abigail McGee

Abigail received a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry with a minor in interdisciplinary studies at Ithaca College where she spent 4 years studying the biophysical properties of intrinsically disordered proteins. She also spent 1 year at Cornell University studying the mechanism of beta-lactam antibiotics on gram-negative bacteria. Abigail's current work in Josh Obar's lab at Dartmouth is focused on the cellular biology necessary for maintaining host immunity against the fungal pathogen, Aspergillus fumigatus. As an equestrian, she spends most of her free time with the horses at the stables; but she also enjoys swimming, hiking and baking in her free time.
