Keller, Jennifer
THE STARGATE OMNIPEDIA
KELLER, JENNIFER
Medical officer stationed at Atlantis in the Pegasus Galaxy. Following the death of Dr. Carson Beckett, Dr. Elizabeth Weir appointed Keller as interim chief medical officer until a suitable replacement could arrive from Earth. Keller herself was appointed the city's new chief of medicine.

Her first patient was Dr. Elizabeth Weir, mortally injuring during an Asuran attack on the city. She was forced to perform a radical procedure to stabilize Weir, and with help from Rodney McKay she eventually saved her life using Replicator nanite technology.

Jennifer is a smalltown girl from Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. The only family she left behind on Earth is her father; her mother died a few years ago. Jennifer continues to doubt her abilities -- though she is exceptionally gifted at what she does. Her new position in Atlantis, and her opportunities to travel off-world, continues to challenge her to push her limits and find out just what she is capable of.
