Kelly Rangel, BS, MS
Senior Research Assistant
Kelly completed her MS in biomedical research technologies from the University of Cincinnati in 2021 and has been with the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center Single Cell Genomics Facility since September 2015. She has successfully handled thousands of single-cell samples using two different platforms: the Fluidigm C1 instrument and the 10x Genomics Chromium and Chromium X Controllers. Her primary responsibilities are to assess the quality of single-cell/nuclear suspensions, educate researchers about suspension quality, provide guidance on how to procure protocol compliant samples, and conduct single-cell assays. She is proficient in scRNA-Seq, scATAC-Seq and Multiome ATAC + gene expression experiments and is adept with techniques such as CITE-seq, hashing (both antibody and lipid), and CRISPR screens. She routinely provides one-on-one consultations to researchers on how these techniques function and aid in their experimental design. In addition to single-cell technologies, she also performs bulk RNA-seq assays, quality control, and qPCR assays and has designed/conducted experiments with multi-color (10+ fluorophores) panels using spectral flow cytometry.
