Kendall Van Keuren-Jensen

Kendall Van Keuren-Jensen is Vice President for Research at TGen and a Professor in the Bioinnovation and Genome Sciences Division. Her research applies extracellular vesicle and extracellular RNA biology to understand how genetic perturbations alter cellular cargo release in neurodegenerative diseases. Her laboratory specializes in isolating and profiling EV-contents to assess how disease-linked genetic variants reshape secreted molecular cargo and influence signaling in recipient cells. In parallel, she leverages single-cell, single-nucleus, and spatial transcriptomics to contextualize RNA changes within vulnerable brain cell populations.
