Last year, Da'Kuawn was University of Maryland, Baltimore's first recipient of the prestigious Gilliam Fellowship Award through the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. As a part of the award, Fellows create a project that engages their communities in the process of science and scientific discovery.
Da'Kuawn is a student in the Molecular Microbiology and Immunology program. His research in Dr. Nicholas Carbonetti's lab investigates how type III interferon signaling protects young mice from lethal B. pertussis infection.
