Kelsey Williamson, M.Sc. Student

I received my BSc. in Cellular, Molecular, and Microbial Biology from the University of Calgary, during which I completed a research project focused on the characterization of a novel toxin-antitoxin system in the legume-nodulating bacterium Rhizobium leguminosarum. I developed an interest in evolutionary biology and bioinformatics during my undergrad, which led me to join the Roger Lab in September 2019 as a MSc. student. My project is focused on utilizing phylogenomic methods to identify the position of the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) in the eukaryote Tree of Life.
