Karl Biggs

Karl earned his Bachelors of Science in Neuroscience from UCLA. His research in the Kettenbach and Havrda labs is focused on the mechanisms of microglial response to misfolded protein aggregates and pesticides, specifically looking at endolysosomal dynamics and extracellular vesicle release . He primarily uses mass spectrometry based techniques coupled with biochemical assays and microscopy to investigate these mechanisms. He is a recipient of the Albert J. Ryan Fellowship. Outside of the lab Karl takes full advantage of everything New Hampshire has to offer, he enjoys backcountry skiing in the winter and trail running and backpacking in the summer. In his down time he likes to read and cook.
