Kalei received her BA from Whittier College and her MSc from California State University Fullerton. She is currently a 5th year PhD candidate within the Fleischman Lab. Her research interest lies in investigating the roles and mechanisms of clonal competition in hematopoiesis. The central goal of her work is to steer a hematologic malignancy towards a more benign outcome by exploring the competitive advantage Tet2-/- cells and their ability to dampen the expansion of malignant clones and in turn decrease the clinical burden as a result.

Kalei’s work is funded by Diversity Supplement Grant 3R37CA271172-05S1 and the CIRM EDUC4-12822 Predoctoral Research Training Grant. She was also a recipient of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Abstract Achievement and the Hematology Inclusion Pathway (HIP) Abstract Achievement Award.
