Chase Kelley

Chase joined Foresite Capital in 2022 as an Associate on the Research team, where he focuses on identifying early-stage transformational technologies in the life sciences.

Chase received his Ph.D. in genetics and genomics as an NSF Graduate Fellow from the University of Florida in the lab of Dr. Eric Wang, where he studied the intersection of subcellular RNA localization, repeat expansion disease mechanisms, and gene therapy engineering strategies.

Chase led and collaborated on studies in both experimental and computational biology, the latter of which included building high-throughput automated image analysis methods for single-molecule RNA imaging. He also participated in the first Foresite Fellows Program cohort.
