Purdue Profiles: Kaethe Beck

Kaethe Beck has always been passionate about science, but after too many late nights staring into a microscope at the University of Illinois, she decided she needed a change. Still inspired by the infinite possibilities that come with research, she was determined to find a way to contribute to the advancement of science from outside the lab. Her position as director of operations, life sciences, in the Office of Research and Partnerships has allowed her to do just that.
