The Boss Herself
Home Project Details Student Researchers The Boss Herself

 

While the students really run the lab, Dr. K. Joy Karnas is ultimately in charge (at least she likes to think she is).  Her are a few bits of information about her:

I am an Assistant Professor of Biology at Cedar Crest College and Director of the Genetic Engineering Program.

My Bachelors and Masters degrees are from the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va., where I studied the cellular structure of coralline red algae under the direction of Dr. Joe Scott.

My Doctoral degree is from the University of Arizona in sunny Tucson where my doctoral advisor was Dr. Mike Wells.

Teaching is my passion—I love working with students in both the classroom and the laboratory and training them in the fine art of molecular biology.

I am married to my best friend, and we have two of the cutest boys you have ever seen (I’m not biased at all).
