Deb Kelly

Professor
Pennsylvania State University
Penn State University
University Park, Pennsylvania, United States

I am a professor of Biomedical Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University, where I hold the Lloyd and Dottie Foehr Huck Chair in Molecular Biophysics and direct the Center for Structural Oncology (CSO). The CSO aims to combat molecular culprits of cancer by revealing their hidden vulnerabilities. Our research creates a unique opportunity to peer into the world of cells and molecules. Tissue and organ growth, cell maintenance and death – these processes are each controlled by exquisite systems of moving parts, invisible to the human eye. To better understand these processes, we employ Cryo-EM and Liquid-EM imaging technologies to study macromolecules in the context of human health and disease.

As President of MSA, I strive to advance our vibrant and inclusive society through social networking endeavors and community engagement. These resources permit us to grow our membership to new heights as we synergize around the technologies that inspire the next generation of scientific leaders. At M&M 2022, we are showcasing outstanding research, education, and outreach opportunities – with the goal of attracting and retaining more female, gender non-binary, and other under-represented scientists to our welcoming community. Inspired by the words of Nina Simone: True freedom is living and learning without fear.
