Research Interests
Prior to joining IBBME, Professor Dawn Kilkenny was a Senior Research Specialist at the Cell Imaging Shared Resource (a microscopy imaging facility) at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee.
Professor Kilkenny's current research interest is in intracellular signaling and celluar interaction with the extracellular environment, particularly during migration. Her specific interests relate to fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and signaling through FGF receptors.
