Katherine Mitsouras

PeerJ Editor & Reviewer

Summary

Katherine received her Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Brown University and her PhD in Biological Chemistry from the Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. She subsequently trained in microarray technology development at Dr Stan Nelson's lab in the Department of Human Genetics at UCLA and collaborated with Agilent Technologies to develop microarrays to detect tissue-specific alternative splicing events in humans. Since 2007 she has been an Assistant, then Associate Professor of Biochemistry at Western University of Health Sciences.
