Background & Interests

Biography

Kellie is a graduate student in biological chemistry. She is working in the areas of cancer microenvironment and technology development for cell barcoding to link biophysical measurements and transcriptional data. Kellie graduated from University of Wisconsin-Madison with a degree in Biochemistry in 2014. Her undergraduate research focused on regulation of transcriptional pausing. Outside of lab, Kellie likes to cook, crochet and go for walks around the neighborhood.
