Summary
Emily Laverriere is a postdoctoral fellow at Boston University’s NEIDL who recently joined John Connor’s lab to focus on viral genomics, building on a PhD (2024) from Harvard Chan School of Public Health and the Broad Institute where she specialized in malaria genomics. With nine years of experience bridging experimental infectious-disease work and computational biology, she combines BSL-3-trained wet-lab expertise with proficiency in next-generation sequencing analysis and multiple programming languages (Python, Java, MATLAB, R, C). Her trajectory includes research roles at the Broad and hands-on experimental roots from MIT, giving her a rare fluency in both bench and bioinformatics workflows. She is particularly interested in leveraging computational tools to interrogate microbial communities and pathogen dynamics, applying rigorous experimental design alongside scalable analysis pipelines.
