Biography
[edit]Kraft earned her B.S. in Biochemistry from the University of Illinois Chicago in 1998 and went on to gain her Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2003 in the lab of Jeffrey S. Moore.[1] The title of her dissertation was "Development and characterization of fatty acid-coated microgels within microfluidic systems."[2] She was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University before returning to work at the University of Illinois in Urbana.[3]
Kraft's research focuses on analyzing the structure and function of cells using computational statistics and imaging techniques.[4] She won the Walter A. Shaw Young Investigator Award in Lipid Research in 2014, which is awarded by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and is given to a researcher within 10 years of completing their MD or PhD.[5][6] She has authored more than 90 papers.[4][7]
