Devon Rose Leaver's five years of undergraduate and graduate study in biology at Clark has been packed with classes, research assistantships in two faculty labs, a summer internship near Boston, scientific conferences, and even part-time jobs. As she works on her master's thesis, Leaver '24, M.S. '25, is reaching for her apex: a spot in a Ph.D. program.
She's interested in studying molecular biology and microbial ecology - the genetics, composition, functionality, and ecology of microbial communities - similar to what she's studied most recently in the lab of Professor Nathan Ahlgren, a marine microbial biologist and the Warren Litsky Endowed Chair in Biology.
