4th year graduate student
Galloway Lab, BE, ChemE
Kasey is a Ph.D. student in the Galloway lab, where she works to develop RNA-based control systems that enable precise regulation of gene expression in mammalian cells. Growing up in California, Kasey became fascinated by synthetic biology in high school and remained in the Bay Area to pursue a B.S. in Bioengineering at Stanford. She enjoys distilling complex ideas into cogent messages, in the process unearthing new insights or connections, and is passionate about paying forward the mentorship that has been instrumental in her academic career. She is an NSF Graduate Research Fellow and is on the leadership team of the MIT Biological Engineering Application Assistance Program (BEAAP). Outside of science, Kasey likes to read, attend concerts, visit coffee shops, and spend time outside.
