Team: Chemistry Department (official 2026)

Bio: My name is Kaitlyn and I am a 2nd year graduate student in Dr. Albanese’s lab. My research is focused on designing a protein inducer of proximity (PIPs) that can be used to bring histone post translational modifications (PTMs) into proximity to study their thermodynamics. Two fun facts about me is that I am a Penn State Behrend alumni (We Are!) and if I am not in the lab you’ll most likely find me at a Formula 1 race with friends (go lando!)
