Mack Reynolds

Mack graduated from the University of California at Davis in 2017 with a B.S. in biochemistry. At UC Davis, he worked as an undergraduate researcher in Dr. Scott Simon’s lab studying innate immune cell trafficking in a mouse model of Staphylococcus aureus skin and soft tissue infection. Following graduation, Mack worked in the same lab developing a microfluidic device to predict susceptibility to atherosclerosis in a clinical setting. Mack is now a Ph.D. student in the Program in Immunology at the University of Michigan working in the lab of Dr. Mary O’Riordan.

Mack is studying the role of mitochondrial stress in innate immune responses to bacterial infection.
