Eloise earned her B.A. in Biology from Seattle University, with experience in bioinformatics and an interest in Microbiology. She is currently pursuing her Masters degree in Genetic Epidemiology at the University of Washington. Her thesis project is a genomic sequence analysis of SARS-CoV-2 in UW students based on samples collected from Husky Coronavirus Testing and integrating a demographic analysis based on phylogenetic clusters. Prior to beginning her graduate school endeavors, she worked as a Research Scientist for the Seattle Flu Study. Her roles consist of accessioning samples, running samples through Swab Express and extraction, as well as performing PCR. While progressing in graduate school, she continues to support the lab as a part-time employee. Outside of the lab and graduate school, Eloise enjoys swimming (specifically snorkeling and jumping off cliffs), finding brunch spots around Seattle and can be found running a mile to beat her personal record (4:30!)
