Caroline Werlang has over 10 years of scientific research experience in a variety of technical areas including microbiology, synthetic biology, protein engineering, glycobiology and carbohydrate chemistry, biopolymers, reproductive health, and host-microbiome interactions. Caroline is as a Technology Specialist at Foley Hoag. Prior to joining the firm, she worked in the biomanufacturing industry, where she genetically engineered microbes and oversaw their translation into full-scale production bioreactors. Caroline obtained her Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under Professor Katharina Ribbeck. Her Ph.D. focused on host-microbe interactions in mucosal environments. She developed materials inspired by the glycoprotein mucin that reduce the virulence of pathogenic bacteria.
