Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKelly Brock is a computational biologist and senior research scientist who applies machine learning and mathematical modeling to decipher how proteins evolve, fold, and drive disease, with nine years of experience spanning academia and industry. After earning a PhD from MIT and a postdoc at Harvard Medical School, she advanced to Associate Research Director leading cross-lab collaborations in structural analysis, variant effect prediction, and immune-escape modeling for SARS-CoV-2. At Kernal Biologics she combined deep learning and structural design to create cell-type–selective mRNA sequences, and she now builds AI+life sciences partnerships at Northeastern’s Institute for Experiential AI. Known for translating probabilistic evolutionary coupling methods into practical tools for experimental teams, she pairs hands-on modeling with program-level project management and extensive mentoring. Colleagues rely on her for tackling hard-to-characterize protein and RNA targets and for turning theoretical models into experimentally actionable insights.
