Kevin Weller

Kevin P. Weller supported Vanderbilt University Flow Cytometry for 5 years serving as the Applications Scientist for both reagents and instrumentation from BD Biosciences prior to joining Vanderbilt .  He is experienced with most aspects of flow cytometric cell analysis, cell sorting, experimental design, and troubleshooting.  He has assisted many researchers at Vanderbilt in developing their research and has played a significant role in growing the science of Flow Cytometry at Vanderbilt.

Before working for BD Biosciences Kevin had a myriad of roles at the University of Illinois at Chicago including Flow Cytometry Core Manager, Clinical Coordinator and Project Manager for a multi-national study investigating fetal cells in maternal blood  as well as being a part-time graduate student.  Prior to that he worked at BD Immunocytometry Systems (BDIS) in R&D developing flow cytometry based applications. Before working at BDIS he was at Systemix Inc. doing stem cell research and working in a Phase II multiple myeloma clinical trial involving processing and sorting of massive blood products by flow cytometry for later infusion back into patients.  Kevin’s initial experience in science was at his alma matter, Montana State University, where he worked on a xenogeneic cell homing model that tracked cells specifically homing to various tissues using flow cytometry.
