Top SchoolKathryn Mcelroy is a Principal Biotechnology Consultant with 11 years of experience translating deep enzymology and protein engineering expertise into tailored R&D solutions for academic and industry clients. She combines hands-on skills—site-directed mutagenesis, protein purification, enzyme kinetics, and x-ray crystallography—with computational sequence and structure analysis developed during a PhD at UC Berkeley and postdoctoral work at Johns Hopkins. As an assistant professor she built a computational enzyme-design research program that doubled as a teaching laboratory, mentoring students to code evolutionary sequence tools and validate predictions experimentally. At BioKEM she focuses on literature reviews, target ID, assay design, and protein redesign to solve practical biochemical problems. Outside the lab she co-founded and continues to lead a long-running homeschool cooperative, reflecting a talent for building sustainable community programs alongside technical work.
