Elizabeth Kellogg
St. Jude CRH
PI, Kellogg Lab
My background in computational biology (David Baker) and structural biology using cryo-electron microscopy (Eva Nogales) results in a scientific approach that seeks to understand biology with a quantitative perspective, relying on biophysical approaches and protein design. Since my lab opened in 2019, we have worked to understand how transposons reshape genomes and how these can be repurposed as genome-editing tools. Our main focus is on programmable transposons; we seek to understand their diversity, regulation, and rules for reprogramming. In 2023 my lab moved from Cornell University (Ithaca, NY) to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (Memphis, TN).

From Cells to Patients: Solving the Scale Mismatch in Virtual Biology
Drug discovery often measures biology at the cell level while interventions work at the tissue, organ, or whole-patient scale. This mismatch can make accurate cell-level predictions irrelevant in the clinic. This session dives into strategies to bridge that gap: multiscale modeling that nests single-cell dynamics within organ-level simulations, spatial transcriptomics that preserve context, and surrogate models that translate cell-level outputs into clinical biomarkers. Speakers will ask: how do we ensure virtual biology reflects not just what cells do in isolation, but how biology behaves in the real complexity of patients?
