Devin Bog

Professional Background

I grew up in Fremont, California, just an hour south of San Francisco (without traffic). I completed my B.S. in Biology and Political Science at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. While there, I wrote my honors thesis with Dr. David Lynn, studying the dynamics of ordered, self-assembling peptide systems. During the summers, I interned at biotechnology companies in Silicon Valley.

After graduating, I came back to California and worked at 3T Biosciences, where I helped develop and utilize a yeast-display platform to find novel targets for cancer treatment by profiling T-cells from patients who responded to checkpoint inhibitor therapy. I then returned to Emory, working with Drs. Lawrence Boise and Vikas Gupta in order to study the mechanisms of venetoclax resistance in multiple myeloma.

My research interests lie in understanding regulatory systems in biology, how and why they evolve, and using those insights to help patients. I'm deeply interested in epigenetics, synthetic biology, multiomics, and cancer biology.

Outside of my work, I love to read, write, listen to music, and get sucked into table-top games (read: Magic: the Gathering) by my friends.
