As part of the Bicentennial Chemistry Department Alumni Symposium, Bella Lowdermilk '24, will discuss her career path and research work since graduation.
Bella Lowdermilk graduated from Lafayette in 2024 with a B.A. in Chemistry and a minor in Studio Art. During her undergraduate career, she conducted research with Dr. Kristen DeMeester, first at The Scripps Research Institute during Dr. DeMeester’s postdoctoral tenure and subsequently at Lafayette once Dr. DeMeester began her faculty appointment. On campus, Bella was a member of the varsity softball team, a resident advisor, and a teaching assistant. She went on to earn her M.S. in Chemistry from the University of New Haven in December 2025. Her graduate research with Dr. Pier Cirillo focused on LIMK2 degradation as a potential prostate cancer therapy, specifically designing LIMK2-CHAMPs with varying linker lengths.
