Katie Mellon

Katie is a Clin Tech Specialist in her Transplant Immunology Laboratory at Albany Medical College in Albany, NY where she has worked for almost 7 years. She is an ASCP board certified Clinical Laboratory Scientist and an ACHI Certified Histocompatibility Technologist. Through her experience working in transplant, she found how important it was to get involved and volunteer with the American Society for Histocompatibility (ASHI) and Immunogenetics. She has become involved in 5 different committees, currently serves in 3, and is on the board of 2. Katie is published in the Journal of Virology and has several poster and abstract publications through ASHI. This is her first ASCP meeting, and she is very excited to learn and network! While she hates being away from her 2 cats, she is very excited to educate as many people as possible about ASHI and the field of histocompatibility! Go Bills!
