Carly Langlais
Senior Program Associate, Research Competitiveness Program

Carly Langlais holds a B.S. in Microbiology from Michigan State University and earned a Ph.D. in Molecular Microbiology and Immunology in 2005 from Oregon Health & Science University. Her dissertation research examined molecular mechanisms of immune evasion of a herpesvirus using a model system of virus-induced cancer development in the context of an immunosuppressed (HIV+) host. For the two years following graduation, Carly pursued her passion for teaching as an Assistant Professor of Biology at a small liberal arts college in Vermont. Inspired by the critical roles of scientists in the policy realm, Carly initiated a career change and moved to Washington, D.C. Prior to joining the AAAS Research Competitiveness Program, Carly was a Christine Mirzayan Science & Technology Policy Fellow at The National Academies, working in the Institute of Medicine's Board on Global Health, and a Scientific Integrity Intern at the Union of Concerned Scientists.
