Kristin L. Eckel-mahan PhD

Dr. Eckel-Mahan received her PhD from the University of Washington, Seattle, where she studied the mechanisms underlying the circadian activation of the ERK/MAPK pathway and the importance of this circadian activity for hippocampal learning and memory. Following the completion of her PhD, Kristin continued her scientific training at the University of California, Irvine, where she studied the mechanisms by which nutrients and metabolites control the circadian properties of the liver. In 2015, she joined the Institute of Molecular Medicine as an Assistant Professor in the Center for Metabolic and Degenerative Diseases.
