Duyen Bui is a first year PhD student in the Molecular Microbiology and Microbial Pathogenesis Program. She graduated from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County in 2022 with a BS in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and a BA in Biological Sciences. She previously conducted research on the genetic basis of distinct lysogenic phenotypes of two closely related bacteriophages and measured the effectiveness of an antibiotic adjuvant in combination with vancomycin against a panel of Gram-positive pathogens. In her free time, she enjoys doing portrait photography, theatre, singing, and reading.

Lindsey grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and is a current CSB Rotation student at Washington University in St. Louis. She graduated from the University of Rochester in 2020 with a BS in Computational Biology. She developed a passion for microbiology during her ORISE Fellowship at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, where she conducted genomic analyses of antibiotic resistance trends and bacterial epidemiology to investigate possible sources of nosocomial transmission and emerging infectious disease threats. Outside of research, Lindsey enjoys hiking with her dog and playing board games.

Lingxia Zhao grew up in Heibei, China and earned her B.A. while working in an analytical chemistry lab in Beijing. She has extensive work experience in analytical chemistry and molecular biology research at both Washington University and NewLeaf Symbiotics.
