Amber is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics and the Institute for the Study of Host-Pathogen Systems at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. She is a mathematical biologist trained in both Applied Mathematics and Experimental Microbiology and Immunology. She received her Ph.D. from the Mathematical Biology program at the University of Utah under the mentorship of Dr. Fred Adler. She did her postdoctoral training in Biophysics and Theoretical Biology at the Los Alamos National Laboratory with Dr. Alan Perelson and in Infectious Diseases at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital with Dr. Jon McCullers.

Amanda holds a B.A. in Evolutionary Biology from the University of Colorado, Boulder and an M.S. in Infectious Disease and Microbiology from the Graduate School of Public Health at the University of Pittsburgh. Her graduate work focused on the cutaneous immune response to dengue virus. Before joining the lab in 2014, she worked as a lab manager and technician at the University of Pittsburgh’s Center for Vaccine Research, studying Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) and dengue virus immunology.

Lindey graduated with her B.S. in Biological Sciences from Mississippi State University and recently completed her M.S. in Pharmacology. She joined the lab full time in 2016 and was previously in the lab as a summer student in 2015. She will begin Pharmacy school in 2019.

Maggie is originally from Memphis and recently graduated from Rhodes College with a B.S. in Biomathematics. Her research interests include mathematical modeling of biological systems. Her research is focused on modeling immune response kinetics to influenza virus infection. Maggie plans to attend graduate school and obtain a Ph.D. in Biomathematics or a related field.
