I study the regulation of protein translation in pancreatic beta-cells. Pancreatic beta-cells are the only cells in the body that secrete insulin, a peptide hormone that lowers blood glucose. Therefore, beta-cells must synthesise and process large quantities of protein. In diabetes, beta-cells are subject to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, when insulin demand overwhelms the cell's capacity to process proteins.

Organ transplantation is a life-saving therapy for end-stage organ failure. Ischemia–reperfusion injury that leads to delayed graft function (DGF) and immune-mediated rejection are unmet challenges. The key to success in organ transplantation is to suppress the immune system and prevent rejection. Current treatment using immunosuppressive drugs has reduced the incidents of rejection; however, such global immunosuppression leads to severe side effects. Thus, new approaches are needed for improved graft survival.
Develop and apply new algorithms for analyzing proteomic data, particularly around protein-protein interaction data generated by co-fractionation/mass spectrometry (also known as protein correlation profiling) experiments.

The formation of tissues and organs into their final shape requires dynamic interactions between the extracellular matrix (ECM) and their underlying cells. ECM mechanical properties provide mechanical force that is sensed by the cells and transduced into signals resulting in adaptive intracellular changes. However, little is known about how ECM mechanical heterogeneity is locally induced in a developing organ and how these differences affect cellular dynamics and morphogenesis.

Dr Killikelly has been awarded the IMH Marshall Post Doc fellowship award for 2023-2024. She will continue to work on exploring grief experiences and lived experiences of bereaved communities in Canada.
In 2021 Dr Killikelly was awarded a Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) Post-Doc Mobility grant to work at the University of British Columbia to examine the relationship between grief, indicators of mental health and post migration living difficulties in refugees in Canada in comparison with Swiss, Dutch and German cultural contexts.
