Chelsey Spriggs, Ph.D.

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.

Fascinated by host-pathogen interactions, my lab studies how viruses utilize cellular machinery for the completion of their life cycles. I earned my B.S. in Microbiology from Michigan State University and my Ph.D. in Microbiology and Immunology from Northwestern University.

Not that kind of Dr.

Virologist. Cell Biologist. Mentor. Advocate.
