Douglas is from St Louis, MO where he went to undergrad and studied Biology and American Studies while conducting research on TB, Chagas, and Th17 interactions (Dan Hoft Lab). Following graduation, he completed a Fulbright Scholarship in North Macedonia and returned to the NIH to study flavivirus antibody epitope repertoire characterization and correlates of vaccine protection (Ted Pierson Lab). During the beginning of his MD/PhD training at the University of Colorado, he further explored his interests through research projects in machine learning, women's health, and climate health resiliency. He looks forward to leveraging his eclectic training towards advancements in systems-based virology and climate-informed-approaches to infectious disease and public health as a physician scientist.
