Bio
Dr. Collett received his BS degree in Biology in 2006 and his Ph.D in Biology from the University of Kentucky in 2014. He then completed three years of post-doctoral work within the Cellular and Integrative Physiology Deparment at Indiana University. He took his first faculty appointment as Assistant Research Professor in 2019 in Dr. David Basile's laboratory in the Department of Anatomy, Cell Biology & Physiology. The research he conducts is focused on translational treatments and techniques to treat acute kidney injury and prevent chronic kidney disease.
In August 2021, Dr. Collett became Assistant Professsor of Clinical Anatomy, Cell Biology and Physiology and Director of the ACBP Pre-Professional specialized MS program. Dr. Collett is very active within the department with teaching and mentoring graduate students and laboratory personelle.
