After veterinary school and graduate studies in vision science at The Ohio State University, she trained in Anatomic Pathology at Johns Hopkins before starting her laboratory as a faculty member at Tufts in 2023. In addition to her laboratory research on ocular pathology and oncology, she works as a diagnostician, evaluating microscopic lesions for veterinary patients and their providers.
Autumn Berlied is a histotechnologist in the CEPOL. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Keene State College in 2022. After graduating, Autumn worked as a histotechnician in a clinical pathology lab in Phoenix, Arizona. However, after a year in the desert, she realized that New England was her true home and moved back.
Autumn is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Biological Data Science through Arizona State University, with plans to graduate in 2026. She aims to use this degree to further her career as a biostatistician or research scientist.
Outside of work and studies, Autumn enjoys reading historical non-fiction (with a particular interest in Middle Eastern and Chinese history), playing with or cuddling her energetic husky, and socializing with family and friends.
