Her models have forced the field of molecular biology to develop new methods for measuring short-lived molecules and protein modifications, which she proposes are the unique \u0026ldquo;fingerprints\u0026rdquo; of cell communication, post-genetic variability, and cell stress responses that are responsible for biological variability.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EKemp\u0026rsquo;s models are the key to unlock the basis for (and opportunities of) personalized medicine and patient-specific therapies. Importantly, subsequent experiments by colleagues in the field have validated her paradigm-shifting theories. Her innovative scholarship has been recognized by many awards: NIH New Innovator, the CSF2 Prize for Innovative Measurement Methods, and the Georgia Cancer Coalition Distinguished Scholar award.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Congratulations to Melissa Kemp on her Promotion to Professor!"}],"uid":"35702","created_gmt":"2021-08-21 14:35:33","changed_gmt":"2021-08-21 14:35:33","author":"mb121","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2020-03-30T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2020-03-30T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"649949":{"id":"649949","type":"image","title":"Melissa Kemp Promoted to Professor","body":null,"created":"1629555077","gmt_created":"2021-08-21 14:11:17","changed":"1629555077","gmt_changed":"2021-08-21 14:11:17","alt":"","file":{"fid":"246692","name":"Melissa Kemp promoted to Professor.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Melissa%20Kemp%20promoted%20to%20Professor.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Melissa%20Kemp%20promoted%20to%20Professor.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":5494,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/Melissa%20Kemp%20promoted%20to%20Professor.jpg?itok=7-AnjPmd"}}},"media_ids":["649949"],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/bme.gatech.edu\/bme\/news\/three-bme-professors-promoted","title":"Link to Full Story"}],"groups":[{"id":"604684","name":"Southeast Center for Mathematics and Biology (SCMB)"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
