About Matthew Keefe

I am an enthusiastic research scientist with 20 years of experience studying the fields of developmental biology, genetics, oncology, immunology, and neurobiology, with a strong focus on modeling human disease. I have experience in both academics and industry research positions leading collaborative projects between cross functional groups. I had the opportunity to develop as a manager through the training and project oversight of many research associates, graduate/undergraduate students, postdocs and physician scientists. Notable technical experiences include analysis of spatial transcriptomics data, gene editing, flow cytometry, tissue culture, next-generation sequencing, molecular cloning, confocal microscopy, and in vivo zebrafish and mouse models of development and disease. I have a demonstrated proficiency in scientific writing and communication, evidenced by numerous manuscripts, as well as presenting data at group and professional meetings.
