Sofia Blomqvist joined the Grad Lab in June 2024. She graduated from UMass Amherst, where she majored in Biology and conducted research on the evolution of antimicrobial proteins. She’s very excited to join the Grad Lab and pursue her interests in infectious disease and antimicrobial resistance. In her free time, Sofia enjoys crosswords, reading, going to the beach, playing the trombone, and curling up on the couch with her dog.
