Moji Oludare '26

​​
I graduated from Swarthmore College with a Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and a minor in Computer Science. My research in the Fera Lab utilizes both wet-lab and computational structural biology approaches to alter the epitopes targeted by antibodies on HIV spikes upon vaccine boosts. In my free time, I enjoy reading, baking, and taking long walks.

​Ainsley Madden '28

I am a biochemistry/philosophy double major from San Francisco, California. My work in the Fera lab focuses on altering the ERK protein structure to strengthen its binding with MEK in vitro. In my free time, I like to cook, crochet, and play guitar.

Presley Simelus '28

I'm a biochemistry major and a biology honors minor from Boston, MA. In the Fera lab, I am characterizing interactions between a mouse antibody and an HIV spike protein using computational and experimental techniques. Outside the lab, I enjoy playing viola, going on runs, and exploring Philadelphia.
