Kelly, Christopher

About this team member

Chris graduated from Oberlin College in 2003 and spent the following year performing research at the NASA-Glenn research labs. Chris’ research at Michigan made contributions towards exploring the physical and chemical principles underlying the interactions of poly(amidoamine) dendrimers with biological membranes.  While at Michigan, Chris was a  Fellow of the Graham Environmental Sustainability Institute.

Chris was a post-doctoral fellow in the laboratories of Barbara Baird and Harold Craighead at Cornell University.  He is currently an assistant professor of physics at Wayne State University.
