Jeffrey Duncan-Lowey

Jeff is an MD/PhD student in the Department of Microbial Pathogenesis at Yale University School of Medicine in the laboratory of Dr. Craig Roy where he is studying how bacterial pathogens manipulate eukaryotic cell signaling to promote their intracellular replication.

Jeff attended Haverford College where he earned his Bachelors of Science in Biology. After completing his undergraduate degree, Jeff investigated the molecular mechanisms of microbial pathogenesis at Uniformed Services University in the lab of Alison O'Brien, and then Harvard Medical School in the lab of Marcia Goldberg. He has continued his studies of host-pathogen interactions focused on the organism Coxiella burnetii and understanding the molecular and biochemical activities of bacterial proteins that target eukaryotic signaling processes during infection.

He volunteers as a student-provider at Wednesday Evening Clinic at Cornell Scott Hill Health Center where he serves as a primary care provider for a panel of patients.
