Research Technician
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
Cold Spring Harbor, New York
Audrey Fahey is a Research Technician in Dr. Doreen Ware’s lab at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. After completing her BA in Biochemistry with a minor in Math at Mount Holyoke College, she joined the Antibody and Phage Core Facility at CSHL. For three years, she worked on a two-pronged approach to antibody-based cancer therapeutics that engage the immune system. She returned to her initial subject of interest that she discovered in college, plants, when she realized cancer immunology research wasn’t her passion. Here, she has flourished, finding commonalities between her previous work in cancer and present work with plants. During her two years in Dr. Ware’s lab, Audrey has grown an appreciation for both fields of research and built her knowledge in plant biology research and computational methods and techniques. Inspired by her colleagues, Audrey aims to pursue a PhD where she will incorporate computational and wet-bench techniques.
