Cheta studied molecular biology and genetics as an undergraduate at Boston University, and also worked in a fungal ecology lab during her time there. After earning her BA, she worked in a Next Generation Sequencing facility at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute for two years before joining the Microbiology Doctoral Training Program at UW Madison.
