Kristina Palmer, M.S.

Research Assistant III

I focus on developmental, craniofacial, and reproductive disorders and mouse model development.

Over the last ten years at JAX, I worked first on male models of meiotic arrest. I transferred then to GRS to help develop craniofacial models primarily from spontaneous mutants. I focus now on infertile, subviable, and embryonic lethal KOMP2 strains including microCT imaging.
