2019 Active Site
This event is designed to expose undergraduates to current peer research and to serve as a networking and professional development platform. Attendees will interact with undergraduates from institutions across the ASBMB Northeast region, as well as with the keynote speaker, judges, and other scientific researchers in attendance.
Dr. Abigail Sloan Devlin, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology at Harvard Medical School
Keynote Speaker
Dr. Devlin's work focuses primarily on issues of the human microbiome, specifically how to control the chemistry of human-associated bacteria to understand their effects on human health and disease. She has focused on questions of microbial imbalance, as well as the molecular mechanisms of the microbiota.
During her keynote presentation at the 2019 Active Site, Dr. Devlin will speak for approximately 1 hour discussing both her latest research and the path she has taken to success. The organizers of The Active Site are excited to be hosting Dr. Devlin in part because we think that exposure to such an emerging topic in biochemical research is invaluable to young biochemists, yet often overlooked.
