Kelly B. Menees, PhD, joined the Indiana University School of Medicine in 2025. She is an assistant research professor in the Department of Neurology. Dr. Menees’s research focuses on investigating central-peripheral immune crosstalk via the gut-brain axis in Parkinson’s disease.

Dr. Menees received her master's degree in biomedical sciences from East Carolina University. She then obtained her PhD in neuroscience from the University of Georgia. While there, her work centered on the investigation of the role of innate immune cells in synucleinopathies and aging, with a particular focus on natural killer cells. She completed her postdoctoral training at the University of Florida College of Medicine where she examined how enteroendocrine cells may be involved in Parkinson’s disease pathology and inflammatory phenotypes.
