Kate Adamala

Kate completed a PhD on the origins of biological enzyme catalysis, working with Pier Luigi Luisi (Roma Tre) and Jack W. Szostak (Harvard), and then joined the Boyden lab as a postdoctoral scholar working on new molecular neurotechnologies, including protein and nucleic acid engineering for the analysis of cellular signaling and activity. She then went on to a tenure-track faculty job at U Minnesota.
