CHELSEY SPRIGGS, PHD
I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan Medical School in the Departments of Cell and Developmental Biology and Microbiology and Immunology and a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan's Life Sciences Institute.
As an NIH MOSAIC Scholar, I am fascinated by host-pathogen interactions and more specifically how viruses utilize cellular machinery for the completion of their life cycles. I earned my BS in Microbiology from Michigan State University and my PhD in Microbiology and Immunology from Northwestern University.
