Grace Shoemaker (she/her/hers)

PhD Student
Johns Hopkins University
Baltimore, Maryland, United States

I am a Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (ChemBE) PhD student at Johns Hopkins University in Dr. Jordan Green's laboratory. Previously, I received a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from the University of Florida (UF). At UF, I was involved in CRISPR-Cas diagnostic based research, primarily focused on Class 2 Type V enzymes. Additionally, I served as an Engineering Senator representative in Student Government, focused on increasing library and bus access, as well as bolstering platforms for minority students. In the Green lab, I am focused on developing efficient gene or antigen delivery vehicles using PBAE nanoparticles. Due to material versatility, PBAE may be used as a vaccine vehicle to dual deliver antigens and adjuvants, or for other nucleic acids, such as siRNA and mRNA. Beyond this, I am determined to make research accessible, both by disseminating novel technologies in layman terms through journaling, and by working towards equitable designs. The latter involves a determination to make cost-effective, long-lasting solutions to global disease crises. As the Committee on Diversity and Inclusion's Graduate Liaison for ChemBE, it is my hope to develop a safe community of research and continually learn from my peers and mentors.
