  • Post-Doctoral Staff

Kelsie is working as a post-doc in the Webber Lab where she is continuing her PhD thesis work. Her studies focus on creating bottom-up pediatric sarcoma models, using induced pluripotent stem cells and genetic engineering techniques. Specifically, these models have untapped potential in understanding how cancer initiates and the early stages of transformation, in a way previously unavailable. Kelsie hopes this work leads to new pathways for personalized therapeutic development to treat these devastating diseases. Outside the lab, Kelsie enjoys watching her son play sports, going horseback riding, and dining throughout the city.
