Prominent molecular biologist to deliver Wittliff Lecture at SMA

Sunday, September 9, 2018

Kelli Bramlett, noted molecular biologist and director of Research & Development at Thermo Fisher Scientific in Austin, will be the featured speaker for the 2018 Wittliff Lecture Series at San Marcos Academy.

The Witliff Lecture, “My Bloom on the Foundations of STEM Learning,” will be presented at 10:15 a.m. Sept. 19 in the Katherine Schultz Lecture Hall on the Academy campus. The event is open to the public.

Bramlett leads a team of scientists in the Clinical Sequencing Division of Life Sciences Solutions at Thermo Fisher, which is one of America’s most inventive biotech companies. She guides Research and Development efforts focused on creating innovative sequencing and data deciphering solutions for DNA analysis of cell free nucleic acid and liquid biopsy with next generation sequencing.

Recognized for her expertise, Bramlett and her team are prominent participants in The Blood Profiling Atlas in Cancer (BloodPAC) Consortium which was launched in 2016 to accelerate development and validation of liquid biopsy assays to improve the outcomes of patients with cancer. Her team has also developed many sequencing products and applications for RNA analysis using next generation sequencing.

Prior to joining Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bramlett was a drug development scientist at Eli Lilly and Company, where she led a team of investigators specializing in gene regulation and nuclear receptor biology to identify novel therapeutic targets
