Meet the Scientists

Meet a real scientists behind My Scientific Name!

Kelly Moynihan was born in Austin, Texas, where she spent her childhood running around on the soccer field, climbing trees, and playing games with friends. Kelly was always really interested in biology and medicine, so when she went to college at the University of Texas she decided to study biomedical engineering, a field that uses science and engineering to advance medicine. Now, she is a graduate student researcher, NSF Fellow, and a Hertz Foundation Fellow at MIT, where she studies immunology. She works to design new ways to harness the power of the immune system to fight cancer, a field called immune oncology. Scientists like Kelly are studying ways to generate an immune response against tumors, without hurting your normal healthy cells.
