Kelcey Allen Joins the Lab!

We are excited to welcome Kelcey Allen as the newest member of the lab! She joins us for her Ph.D. thesis research in Chemical Engineering and will be co-advised by Kyle Daniels.

Before coming to Stanford, Kelcey completed her bachelor’s in chemical engineering at MIT. While there, she dove into the metabolic engineering of E. coli to produce sustainable plastic monomers which sparked her passion for synthetic biology. Her other research experiences as a summer intern at Eli Lilly and at the University of Copenhagen narrowed her focus to developing novel therapeutics.

Now, she is excited to bridge the fields of cell and protein engineering to design new therapies.

Kelcey is originally from St Vincent and the Grenadines, and in her free time, she enjoys playing the steel pan, trying new foods, traveling, crocheting and dancing.

We are so excited for Kelcey to join the lab and look forward to her hosting a lab retreat in St Vincent and the Grenadines :)
