Biography
Camille Lake is a rotating fellow in NIAID’s Emerging Leaders in Data Science Fellowship program. She spent her upbringing in the hills of Northern California, and eventually moved to Santa Barbara where she got her college degree and discovered her love of molecular biology. She moved to Bethesda, MD to pursue her Ph.D. in infectious diseases and immunology at Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, where she graduated in 2021. She utilizes her immunology foundation and fascination with data science to fuel her research, which ranges from determining the underpinnings of molecular mimicry in SARS-CoV-2 sequelae to utilizing machine learning algorithms to unlock the secrets of RNA regulation. When not training actively as a mad scientist, she can be found with her nose in a good fantasy novel, playing fetch with her dog Archie, or watching horror movies with her husband Zach.
