Shiloh has joined the Montenegro Lab to study self-assembling peptide scaffolds and their interactions with membranes on the DC-10 project, aiming to develop applications in membrane repair and drug delivery.
She holds a Bachelor’s in Biochemistry and a Master’s in Chemistry with a certificate in Astrobiology from the Georgia Institute of Technology. For her final thesis project, she used computational tools to explore the allowed geometry space of model proto-RNA assemblies. Her experience in origins of life research was the driving factor that inspired her interest in bottom-up synthesis of artificial cells and cell-like structures.
