Jordin began her research in infectious disease biology during her undergraduate studies at Stevenson University, where she investigated Plasmodium species in white‑tailed deer and examined the gut virome’s role in the neurological disorder Konzo. After earning her B.S. in Biology, she joined Johns Hopkins University as a research technician, studying sex‑based differences in HIV latency and reactivation within myeloid cells. Her work involved macrophage isolation workflows and optimizing HIV/SIV QVOA assays to assess latent reservoirs. Jordin’s research experience spans tissue processing, gut microbiome profiling, and preclinical modeling in large animals. She is interested in therapeutic delivery, cellular signaling, and mechanisms underlying chronic disease.
Outside the lab, she enjoys exploring new foods, hiking, playing with her dogs, spending time with friends and family, and traveling.
