Kristin received her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin – Madison, where she studied the structural and mechanical properties of collagen fibre networks and their effects on breast cancer cell migration in invasive ductal carcinoma. She joined Promega in 2014 as a postdoctoral researcher to study the pharmacology of ligand-dependent responses within the ErbB signalling network. Currently, she is a Senior Scientist developing technologies and approaches for live cell characterization of protein degradation and protein interactions within the ubiquitin proteasome pathway.
