Delaney Kenney is a rising senior neuroscience major at Haverford College who was diagnosed with Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) in May 2023. She is currently interning under Dr. Ganna Bilousova at the Gates Summer Internship Program based at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. Her main role this summer is to reprogram hEDS patient fibroblasts into induced pluripotent stem cells, which will then be used to elucidate and validate the molecular mechanisms behind this condition and to help develop potential therapeutics. Delaney has previous experience studying child development in psychology and neuroscience labs at her home institution, and she has been incredibly excited to have her first experience in a biology lab her at Anschutz working as a patient-scientist.
In this episode of the Bendy Bodies podcast, Dr. Linda Bluestein speaks with two brilliant young researchers, Jeevan Mann and Delaney Kenney, about their groundbreaking work in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). Jeevan shares insights into using 3D skin models for understanding …
