Bennett Shaw served as an affiliated researcher in the Sabeti Lab from 2019-2021 while working primarily as a Clinical Research Assistant in the Division of Infectious Disease at Massachusetts General Hospital. Bennett broadly worked on tick-borne diseases and respiratory viruses, focusing his efforts on diagnostic development and implementation as well as viral sequencing and genomic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2. He is now pursuing an MD at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA where he hopes to align research interests in molecular biology and infectious disease with a clinical interest in underserved populations, particularly Spanish-speaking populations, to increase access to quality medical care.
