Abstract:

Kelly Colletti obtained her PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biology at the University of Nevada, Reno in 2005. She is a trained herpes virologist that studied the molecular mechanisms of Cytomegalovirus and Karposi?s Sarcoma Associated Herpes Virus DNA replication. While pursuing her doctoral degree, she learned a diverse set of skills including protein expression and purification, antibody generation, enzymatic assay development, cell culture, molecular biology and protein chemistry. She also obtained an MBA during this time and has a keen business sense. Her postdoctoral fellowship was also in virology developing a reverse genetics model for the Sin Nobre Hantavirus. Kelly joined Charles River in early 2009 and has since become the lead scientist for large molecule bioanalysis and immunogenicity testing at Charles River, Preclinical Services, NV. She is also cross trained in immunotoxicology and has experience running studies in Non-Human Primates with immunophenotyping, TDAR, NK cell activity, and cytokine analysis endpoints. Since joining CRL, Kelly has participated in over 10 biosimilar programs validating bioanalytical and immunogenicity assays to support preclinical and clinical studies
