Darcy is a graduate student in the lab. She works jointly with the Rudra lab and is in the Biochemistry, Biophysics & Structural Biology program. In 2024, Darcy was awarded a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship (NSF-GRFP)! Darcy is from Pottstown, Pennsylvania and graduated from Franklin & Marshall College in 2020 with a BA in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology. After college, she worked for two years as a post-baccalaureate fellow at NIAID. Outside of the lab, Darcy enjoys baking, reading, and chilling with her cat.
