Devon has a second-degree black belt in Taekwondo and was a prominent member of student government during his time at Harvey Mudd. At Harvard he joined the labs of George Church and Ethan Garner to combine Ethan’s expertise of bacterial cell biology with George’s expertise in synthetic biology with the goal of developing better tools to manipulate the human microbiome. He believes that preventing chronic gut inflammation caused by microbiome dysbiosis will help prevent inflammation-caused cancer and treat antigen-responsive gastric cancers.
