Devin James Kenney
Postdoctoral Associate
Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine




I attended Bridgewater State University to receive my B.S. in biomedical and molecular biology and biochemistry. Upon graduation I joined the post-baccalaureate program at the National Institutes of Health where I explored the factors driving differences in development of T cells and innate lymphoid cells. In 2019 I entered the Program in Biomedical Sciences at Boston University and joined the laboratory of Florian Douam at the National Emerging Infectious Disease Laboratories (NEIDL). My current research is aimed at identifying host pathogen interactions involved in Flavivirus and coronavirus infection.
