Intramural Research Training Award (IRTA) Fellow
National Institutes of Allergy & Infectious Disease
I am a second year Intramural Research Training Award (IRTA) Fellow in the Laboratory of Immune Systems Biology (LISB) in the National Institutes of Allergy & Infectious Diseases. As a biology major with an extensive background in immunology research, I joined the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) psychiatry consultation-liaison service (PCLS) team in investigating the mental health symptoms of patients who have experienced a prior systemic allergic reaction to the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.
