Alison is pursing her PhD in the department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Montana State. Her research regards the manipulation of bacteriophage capsid proteins (the "head" of the virus that typically contains its genetic material) with the objective of filling it with therapeutic agents. She was formerly a researcher at Ligocyte Pharmaceuticals, here in Bozeman, MT.
