Shelly obtained a B.S. in Neuroscience and Psychology as well as a M.S. in Cellular and Molecular Biology from Tulane University. Shelly Graduated from the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center UTHealth Houston Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences genetic counseling program in 2022 and went on to pursue a career in immunogenetics. She works at Baylor College of Medicine in the Division of Allergy and Immunology, focusing on pediatric patients with suspected inborn errors of immunity in both the clinical and research setting. Shelly’s passion for translational research stems from the immediate positive impact it has for her patients in the immunology field. With the ART-GC program, she hopes to develop a more strategic algorithm for genetic testing in the immune space to reduce ambiguous results and increase diagnostic yields.
