Caitlin Murphy

Caitlin was born and raised in Manchester, NH and is very excited to return to the Granite State. She received her B.S. in molecular biology with a minor in health, medicine, and society from Lehigh University in 2021. While at Lehigh, she participated in the HHMI SEA-PHAGES program and worked in the Simon Lab assessing novel compounds to treat traumatic brain injury. Caitlin then worked as a postbac at the National Eye Institute in the Caspi Lab investigating the role of gut microbiota in autoimmune uveitis. At Dartmouth she hopes to continue exploring the microbiome and the roles it may play in human health. In her free time, Caitlin enjoys reading, playing the flute, and outdoor activities in all seasons.
