Soumya Kannan

Postdoctoral Fellow
Broad Institute

I am currently a Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows and a postdoctoral fellow in Erin Chen’s lab at the Broad Institute/MIT Department of Biology. I obtained my bachelor’s degree at Caltech in bioengineering and was subsequently a Fulbright scholar at the Technical University of Denmark in the Department of Biotechnology and Biomedicine.  I completed my PhD in Feng Zhang’s lab at the Broad Institute/MIT Department of Biological Engineering, where I studied the origins of CRISPR-Cas systems from ancestral mobile elements and biochemical diversity in CRISPR-Cas systems.
