About Julia Silberman
I was a member of the Tufts undergraduate research and leadership program in the cohort of 2021-2023. I studied biochemistry and worked in the Kumar lab, investigating novel antibiotics for Tuberculosis.
After graduation, I came to the National Institutes of Health as a postbaccalaureate fellow, where I studied cell biology in the Lyme disease pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi.
Currently, I am a PhD student at Harvard Medical School, in the Biological and Biomedical Sciences program, within the Graduate Program in Bacteriology. I am interested in molecular microbiology and bacterial pathogenesis, and I aim to pursue a career in academia after my graduate studies.
