Short Bio
Kimberly Mulligan earned her BS and MS in Chemistry from Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University and PhD in Molecular Physiology and Biophysics from Vanderbilt University. Her dissertation research examined the mechanism by which insulin stimulated skeletal muscle glucose uptake is impaired in the presence of inflammation. Upon completion of her degree, she worked for the Vanderbilt University Center for Science Outreach, where she was able to merge her love of science and desire to enhance STEM education at the K-12 level in the US and abroad. In Dr. Mulligan’s current role, she works to develop and implement initiatives which creates an environment where the student body, faculty and staff can thrive. Dr. Mulligan recognizes the opportunities that have been afforded her through the vested interest others have taken in seeing her develop as a scholar. Therefore, she utilizes her position to explore new avenues to do the same for others in higher education to help shape a STEM workforce that reflects the U.S. population. She loves that her COSAM family is so supportive of the work done by AEIO and is committed to ensuring many voices and perspectives are represented in scientific fields.Education
