Madison is originally from Arkansas and she attended Belhaven University in Jackson, Mississippi, where she double majored in Chemistry and in Cellular and Molecular Biology. As an undergraduate, she worked with Professor Reid Bishop to study the thermodynamics of Warfarin binding to human serum albumin. She also participated in an REU at the University of Mississippi synthesizing near-infrared fluorophores for biological imaging. Now, Madison synthesizes novel Gram-negative quorum sensing modulators and studies their activities. When she’s not in lab, Madison loves spending time with friends, reading, and playing sports.
