Katherine Kenney is pursuing her Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry. She received her bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry from the Georgia Institute of Technology in December 2023. During her time as an undergraduate student, she excelled as a teaching assistant in over ten different labs, ranging from general chemistry to advanced biochemistry. While studying at Georgia Tech, she grew to love and appreciate analytical chemistry. Alongside teaching the subject she loves, she also learned a number of techniques that continue to help her evolve as a scientist. In her undergraduate studies, Katherine studied tree gums found in objects of historical significance using MALDI-TOF-MS. During her time as a Ph.D. student, she is currently working on a metabolomics study involving breast cancer among BRCA1/2-mutation carriers and hopes to expand her exploration of the lipidome and proteome of cancer and cancer development. In her free time, she enjoys the outdoors and hanging out with her cat, Lily.
