Dr. Kelly Engel Kelly Bonner Engel earned her Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences with specialties in Marine Biology and Ecology from Florida Institute of Technology, and her Masters and PhD in Biology from Boston University with an emphasis on Physiology, Endocrinology, and Reproduction. Prior to completing her PhD she gained a wide range of research experience including ecological analysis, feeding kinematics of estuarine fish, fish physiology, plant and soil heavy metal analysis, and wetland surveying. Her doctoral research focused on identification of male reproductive impacts as a result of environmental contaminant exposure using molecular, histological, and ecological approaches. Kelly has extensive research experience with traditional and nontraditional animal model systems, cloning, sequence analysis, molecular techniques, histology, immunocytochemistry, in situ hybridization, and microscopy. She is the primary author of two text book chapters focusing on male reproduction in evolutionarily distant vertebrates, six research articles, and co-author of a funded National Sea Grant. She has received accolades for poster and oral research presentations at national and international conferences. She is currently a literature database curator for a large United States government agency. |
