Sethe Cloutier

Undergraduate Research Assistant in the Rothchild Lab

Sethe chose UMass hoping to gain microbiology/immunology research experience as an undergraduate. She has fallen in love with the laboratory setting and is excited to learn more about the role of alveolar macrophages in response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Specifically, she is interested in the non-specific effects of BCG vaccination which leads to lower morbidity and mortality in neonates. In the future, she would like to work with prion diseases or other protein malformation ailments.

When not in lab or class, Sethe enjoys working with miniatures, reading, and watching horror movies.
