Kristen Gibson, PhD

Kristen is a postdoctoral fellow with a PhD in Medical Genetics from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. She has a mixed wet-lab and dry-lab background, with her doctoral studies focusing on identifying genetic and circulating biomarkers associated with pediatric autoinflammatory disorders. As a post-doc, she aims to expand her computational skills through interrogating genomic and transcriptomic datasets to better our understanding of the genetic causes, diagnosis, and treatment of nephrotic syndromes.

Outside of the lab, Kristen loves spending time outdoors. She is an avid hiker, mountain biker, and skier (among way too many other hobbies…) and is excited to explore what the New England states have to offer!
