Alicia Wooten
When Alicia Wooten (MED’19) was three years old, doctors told her parents that she had progressive hearing loss. Today the Ph.D. candidate in the School of Medicine’s Graduate Medical Sciences Division, who works in the pneumonia biology lab on the Medical Campus, studies the host-pathogen response to Streptococcus pneumoniae. While she says the lab environment can be harder for people who are deaf, her work is made easier by some very supportive colleagues.
