Principal Investigator
Kimberly Mulligan, PhD
Kimberly Mulligan earned her BS in Biochemistry and Cell Biology from the University of California, San Diego. She was a graduate student in the laboratory of Roel Nusse, PhD at Stanford University where she studied mechanisms of Wnt signaling during development. As a post-doctoral fellow in the laboratory of Benjamin Cheyette, MD, PhD at the University of California, San Francisco she studied the role of Wnt signaling in neurodevelopment and neuropsychiatric disorders. She is originally from Sacramento, and is excited to have the opportunity to serve her hometown community through teaching and research.
