Lauren Anntine Chang
About Me
Lauren Chang is a current PhD candidate in the Microbiology Multidisciplinary Training Area in the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS). Lauren is a member of the Schotsaert Lab where she studies eosinophils and other granulocytes in the context of respiratory viral infection (influenza, SARS-CoV-2, and more) and vaccination in the mouse model.
Lauren graduated cum laude from the University of California, San Diego in 2018 with a B.S. in Microbiology. During her time as an Undergraduate Research Assistant (2016-2018) in the laboratory of Dr. Michael Karin, she worked with Drs. Zhenyu Zhong and Elsa Sanchez-Lopez on examining the role of IRF1 in regulating NLRP3 inflammasome activation.
Prior to matriculating at ISMMS, Lauren was a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Summer Intern in Biomedical Research (2017) and a Post-baccalaureate Research Fellow (2018-2020) in the laboratory of Dr. Barney S. Graham at the Vaccine Research Center (VRC). As a postbac, she investigated the antibody and memory B cell response to multiple respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine candidates in human clinical trials, as well as participated in pandemic preparedness initiatives and vaccine development for emerging infectious diseases.
