Alen Poehlman
I am from the University of Washington in Seattle, where I am entering my third year majoring in Biochemistry. This summer, I am a part of the Amgen Scholars program, consisting of a 10-week mentorship, conferences, and workshopping events to prepare students for graduate school and their careers in research. This summer, I will be working with Amy Prichard studying dual infection with obligate intracellular pathogens, where we're looking to gain a better understanding of how pathogens interact with each other and their host in a shared cell.
