Grace Buddle is a Research Associate at Ann Haberman's Lab at Yale School of Medicine, focusing on investigating the cellular and molecular interactions occurring in germinal center reactions and their role in adaptive immune responses. Her current project emphasizes the role of tertiary lymphoid structures and the recurring interactions between germinal center B cells and T follicular helper cells in the context of autoimmunity. Buddle has completed a combined Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degree in Biotechnology from Penn State University. During her master's program, she undertook a 6-month full-time research co-op at Merck’s Discovery Neuroscience department, where she investigated neurodegenerative pathology, specifically Alzheimer's Disease. This co-op resulted in the development of a method for three-dimensional, whole brain histological analysis of mouse models, which enhances the observation of pathology and allows for the development of novel methods to study, diagnose, and treat neurodegenerative diseases.
