Kat Milligan-McClellan
Kat Milligan-McClellan is an American microbiologist. She is Alaskan Native and a member of the Napaaqtugmiut tribe.[1] She specializes in microbiota, specifically how those microbiota affect different fish development. Her research truly reflects who she is, and how she plans to incorporate her Native American heritage into all of her work.[2]
Education
Milligan-McClellan started her secondary education as an undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin. Here she studied medical microbiology.[1] Once she received her bachelors, she went on to the Doctoral training program of microbiology, continuing at UW. Her post-doctoral training landed her at the University of Oregon in Biological sciences.[3]
She is an assistant professor at the University of Connecticut, and has been there since 2020.[3]
Research
Milligan-McClellan has a lab a UConn focusing on different microbiota and fish. One of the main objectives at her lab is identifying different microbes that can act as bioremediators against ecotoxicants.[4] Something else that she focuses on is how she uses threespine stickleback fish (Gasterosteus aculeatus),[4] to identify the certain factors that influence its interactions between the host and microbe in adults.[5]
She emphasizes her other research as to why there is such a disproportionate amount of Alaskan Natives affected by diseases that are connected to the gut microbiome, including stomach cancer and diabetes.[1]
