Welcome to the lab, Elon!!

Elon with “Antonio”

We have a new doctoral student joining us in the Hartman lab!

Welcome to Elon Holmes, a first-year doctoral student from Pitt Public Health in the Department of Infectious Disease and Microbiology. Elon rotated with us in the fall and has officially joined as a graduate student!

She will be joining projects on RVFV infection during pregnancy.

Elon says: “I’m originally from Silver Spring, Maryland, but I grew up in Fort Mill, South Carolina. While living in South Carolina, I earned my Bachelor's degree in Microbiology with a concentration in biomedicine from Clemson University, where I also worked as a diagnostic lab technician. Now in Pittsburgh, I live in the Shadyside area, where I enjoy walking and exploring local coffee shops and restaurants. Outside of work, I love hiking, attending concerts, and trying out fun activities and festivals around Pittsburgh!”
