Riley Jaye building an impact-driven career where science becomes real-world outcomes.
I’m a Rotational Research Associate at Umoja Biopharma and a University of Michigan graduate in Molecular, Cellular & Developmental Biology. My work spans disease ecology, antimicrobial resistance, and translational science—with a growing interest in immunology and how we can equip the immune system to fight disease.

My north star
Do science that holds up—and helps
I’m drawn to translational work because it’s where rigorous methods meet reality: constraints, patients, decisions, and the systems that determine whether innovation reaches the people (and animals) who need it. I want to contribute to teams that build treatments and tools with integrity—quietly, consistently, and at scale.
