Leah Davis

Postdoctoral Research Fellow, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
EBRC Research Roadmapping WG Liaison

Leah is a postdoctoral research fellow in bioengineering and marine biotechnology at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Her current work centers on the development of rapid, in-situ whole-cell microbial biosensors for monitoring water quality and detecting disease. She earned her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Rowan University, where she focused on engineering mammalian whole-cell biosensors for broad applications in both biomedical research and environmental monitoring. Leah holds a bachelor’s degree in Energy Engineering from The Pennsylvania State University, where she completed four internships and worked full-time for a year following graduation. If she’s not in the lab you can find her with her pug, Chicken Nugget.
