Meet the Speaker: Lauren Eglite ’28

Lauren Eglite ’28, now a sophomore majoring in majoring in chemical engineering, shared how watching the What Would You Fight For? piece “Fighting to Cure Food Allergies” in Notre Dame Stadium in 2017 inspired her to come to Notre Dame, and inspired her father to work alongside engineering professor Başar Bilgiçer to advance his research and create a safer future for millions living with allergies.

Her story was featured in the 2025 piece “From reaction to resolution: The future of allergy treatment.”
