Kimberly E. Beatty

Kimberly E. Beatty is a faculty member at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), affiliated with the School of Medicine. Her research focuses on developing innovative chemical tools and technologies to study human diseases, particularly tuberculosis (TB) and breast cancer. The Beatty group employs interdisciplinary and collaborative strategies to investigate molecular mechanisms underlying disease pathology, drug susceptibility, and resistance.

• Education: B.S. from University of California, Santa Barbara (2002)
• Ph.D. in Chemistry from California Institute of Technology (2008) under David Tirrell
• Postdoctoral training at UC Berkeley with Carolyn Bertozzi

Her research projects include: chemical tools for Mtb hydrolase detection, drug susceptibility imaging, protein mapping via VIPER technology, breast cancer drug resistance mechanisms, and fluorescent probe synthesis. Publications span proteomics, molecular imaging, and biochemical diagnostics. She has mentored researchers such as Kaylyn L. Devlin and Julia K. Doh.
