Aimee Gleason, B.S.

Aimee joined the Hata Lab in July of 2024 after receiving her B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Rochester Institute of Technology. While studying, she completed an internship with the DeKosky Lab at the Ragon Institute of Mass General, MIT, and Harvard. There, Aimee conducted research on optimizing the lab’s high throughput platform to capture and screen natively paired alpha beta TCRs, then adapted the platform to screen gamma delta TCRs in a collaboration with the Hahn Lab at Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Aimee was also on the executive board for the American Cancer Society on Campus at RIT where she helped organize Relay for Life and was invited to the American Cancer Society National Top Performers Conference. In the Hata Lab she will conduct research on the tumor micro-environment in EGFR mutant lung cancers. In the future, she is planning to pursue her PhD and a career in cancer research. Outside of work, Aimee enjoys dance, reading, and baking.
