Kelly Wetmore

Kelly Wetmore graduated with her PhD from Adam Arkin’s lab at UC Berkeley. She has over 15 years of experience in microbial physiology and genetics before and during graduate school. She has been instrumental in developing a number of next-generation tools and protocols for microbial functional genomics. Kelly supported the CUBES team in applying these tools to optimize the core biomanufacturing microbes in physiologically more-or-less relevant conditions. She was also part of a large DOE environmental systems biology project in which she developed a new technology to query high-throughput genetic interactions.
