Research Focus
Dr. Ryan T Kelly’s lab at Brigham Young University focuses on advancing techniques for studying proteins in single cancer cells. By developing new mass spectrometry methods, the lab aims to measure thousands of proteins from over a thousand individual cells daily. This research will help us understand cancer better and create more effective treatments by revealing how various types of cancer cells behave and respond to therapies.

Career totals from OpenAlex, compared against labs that share a department. A department spans everything from one paper to tens of thousands, so bar heights are on a log scale — otherwise the largest lab would flatten every other bar to a line.
