AutumnMatthews

Autumn grew up in Baltimore, MD and completed her B.S. in Chemistry at York College of Pennsylvania, where she did interdepartmental research under the mentorship of Dr. Dora Peelen and Dr. Jeffrey Thompson. Her undergraduate research focused on developing a potential glioblastoma-targeted gold nanoparticle therapeutic using a novel fusion protein. She is super excited to be a member of the Alex Whiteley lab and investigate PEG10 NC’s role in gene expression as it relates to neurodegenerative diseases. In her free time, she loves playing board games, baking, playing kickball, going on hikes, and having picnics!
