Elisabeth M. Schwiebert earned her B.A. in Chemistry from Grinnell College in 2021, studying under the mentorship of Dr. Erick Leggans and assisting with his project on the medicinal potential of specific terpenes within the antibiotic landscape. Following graduation, she accepted a fellowship position within the Clinical Chemistry Branch at the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention with Dr. Grace Jairo where she used gas chromatography to evaluate the effect of FDA regulations on trans fatty acids in commercially available food products.
