Jake was born in Clinton, Mississippi, a suburb of Jackson. He began doing biomedical research during college and ultimately decided to pursue a translational research career. He completed his MD and PhD degrees at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where his work focused on human immune responses to HIV and SARS-CoV-2. His future career goals include becoming an infectious disease physician scientist, where he would like to continue researching the host response to different infectious pathogens. Jake will be accompanied in Nashville with his fiancé Taylor (wedding in November 2024!) and their dog, Willy. Outside of spending time with these two, Jake enjoys watching sports, trying out new restaurants and bars, and listening to live music. We are very much looking forward to joining the Vanderbilt family and finding friends to explore Nashville!
