Biography

Dawne Haas (Rowe) completed her undergraduate studies at Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, Florida. After graduation, she remained at the university as a biological scientist in the Isern-Michael lab studying antivirals, vaccine development and the molecular evolution of flaviviruses. Spare time centered on volunteering at a local wildlife refuge center (C.R.O.W), the Florida Panther Refuge and a small animal Emergency and Referral Center.

 

In 2012, Dawne was accepted into the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Georgia.
