Taylor earned a B.S. in Chemistry with a concentration in biochemistry at Wake Forest University in 2017. As an undergraduate she conducted research in organic chemistry synthesizing novel PI3K inhibitors for prostate cancer treatments. Prior to starting grad school at Duke, she spent two years working at the Duke Human Vaccine Institute (DHVI). At DHVI, she genotyped human and non-human primate samples to characterize Fc receptors and their role in HIV pathogenesis. In the Stapleton lab she is investigating per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in consumer products and in the indoor environment. Her interests include discovering known and unknown PFAS in consumer products and assessing the role of the indoor environment (as well as behaviors and housing characteristics) in exposure to PFAS. Outside of the lab Taylor enjoys playing with her dog Cocoa, binging Netflix shows, and eating a lot of food at restaurants across the Triangle!
