So far, she has investigated the effect of molecular linkers on antigen immunogenicity conjugated to VLPs. She is currently working to develop a vaccine with potential efficacy against melanoma, and is beginning a project aimed at developing a vaccine for Chagas Disease. Asheley earned her B.A. in Religious Studies at Agnes Scott College, then switched paths and studied chemistry and biology at Georgia Southern University while conducting water quality research in Georgia and Africa under Dr. Asli Aslan.
