Zixuan "Kelly" Wan

Ahmed lab

Kelly earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she also completed a second major in Global Studies and a minor in Chemistry. Fascinated by the intricate language of cells, she is drawn to uncovering how molecular signaling pathways shape development and contribute to cancer. She is especially excited by how fundamental research can drive innovative approaches to diagnosis and treatment. Outside the lab, Kelly is a musician at heart—she plays several instruments and enjoys writing and recording songs with friends. She's also an avid traveler with a passion for exploring new cultures through their food. A recent convert to mountain life, she's fallen hard for skiing and snowboarding and is always on the lookout for her next alpine adventure.
