Patricia M. Day PhD

Dr. Day completed her B.S. in biology at St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York. She then earned a Ph.D. from the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her thesis work, in the laboratory of Dr. Jeffrey Frelinger, delineated the function of a nonclassical class I protein, Qb-1. She did a postdoctoral fellowship in the laboratory of Dr. Jonathan Yewdell and Dr. Jack Bennink in the Laboratory of Viral Diseases in NIAID, NIH. This work focused on the intracellular trafficking of class I molecules. She then joined the Laboratory of Cellular Oncology. Her major projects in LCO have involved applying cell biological techniques to questions of papillomavirus entry and early events in infection.
