Shanelle Reilly
I am interested in the role that non-classical CD8+ T cells play during infections and cancer. Using MCMV as a model, I am working to understand the role these non-classical cells play during chronic infection. Beyond research, I have worked at the Brown Writing Center as a Writing Associate since 2018. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, skiing, traveling, playing/coaching volleyball, and spending time with my dogs. I also love to spend my weekends visiting the White Mountains in NH.
Graduate Students
Samantha Borys
I am interested in understanding how checkpoint inhibitors influence the immune microenvironment of the salivary glands during immune related adverse events and viral infection. In addition to my research, I enjoy teaching and mentoring students interested in careers in science. I also love experimenting in the kitchen, playing tabletop/video games, gardening, kayaking, volunteering with exotic animals, and watching movies with my dog.
Madison Smith
I am passionate about understanding cellular immune dynamics during respiratory viral infections, with a particular focus on the role of non-classical CD8+ T cells. The non-polymorphic nature of these cells offers exciting potential for therapeutic interventions. Outside of the lab, I enjoy traveling to explore new cultures and landscapes and channeling my creativity through pottery.
Khanhlinh (Linh) Dinh
I love immunology and some of my favorite topics are immune modulation at the maternal-fetal interface, the roles of immune cells in cellular senescence and aging, and the translation of immunological research into therapeutic interventions. When not in the lab, I am either a dedicated couch potato binge watching shows or making tiktoks in a foreign country!
