Kelly Lin Wuthrich, PhD

Postdoctoral Research Scholar

I am currently a postdoc in Dr. Hojun Song's lab at Arizona State University.

I received my PhD from Florida International University in Dr. Christian Cox's lab, studying the role of thermal stress on phenotypic plasticity, gene expression, and methylation in the Panamanian slender anole (Anolis apletophallus).

I completed my B.S. in Biological Sciences at Binghamton University, State University of New York. I was a research assistant in Dr. Lindsey Swierk's lab where I worked on understanding the importance of coloration in water anole (Anolis aquaticus) antipredator adaptations and social signaling. During my undergrad, I was a field intern in the summer of 2019 with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to gather data on levels of PFAS in Stewart State Forest, Newburgh NY. 

In my free time, I love to read, explore the outdoors from the beach to the mountains, cook, and teach tricks to my dog, Buster. I love pilates, yoga, and occasionally running. I finished the Miami Marathon in 2026 and am currently training for the Phoenix Half Marathon in December 2026!
