After this, she worked as a research assistant in Dr. Fred Alt’s lab in Boston, MA, where she first became excited by Immunology research. Darienne then pursued a Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences with a focus in Immunology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). There, she studied how signaling pathways in T cells are tightly controlled to prevent these T cells from attacking and damaging our own healthy tissues.
