Background

About Caitlyn Blake-Hedges

I am a previous research scientist that has extensive experience in multiple fields of life sciences including microbial ecology, human microbiota, cell biology, and developmental biology. My graduate research project was focused on the regulation of actin cytoskeletal dynamics in the early Drosophila embryo mediated through the centrosome. I have experience in federal government grant management, data analysis, and program evaluation. I have worked with a large number of teams focusing on different stages of development and focus areas in biomedical research, ranging from basic research to clinical trials, and cancer to neuroscience. I have assisted with and managed program development, quality control, and technical solutions. I am preparing to pursue further science policy development careers.
