Complementary to the background and knowledge of the Salus family, Briannabrought with her expertise in molecular biology and proteomics.  When she’s not engulfed in Science, Brianna enjoys running, hiking, DIY home improvements and, most of all, exploring the world with her husband and two tiny humans. 

Molly went from the west coast to the east coast then backtracked to the midwest, right here at Salus. After growing up in San Diego, she received a dual degree from University of Massachussets - Amherst in Animal Science and Environmental Toxicology and is currently pursuing a PhD from the University of Wisconsin - Madison Molecular and Environmental Toxicology Center. Molly brings an outside perspective from the otherwise engineering heavy background of our team. Outside of Salus, Molly enjoys gardening, animals, cooking, playing board games, experiencing nature, outdoor activities, science, learning, hanging out with friends
