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 Weir herself, 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.
As she continued to gain experience and confidence, Keller was responsible for finding a cure to the terminal condition suffered by Carson Beckett's clone, created by the Wraith Michael. This allowed him to be freed from stasis, and to resume a normal life. She also continued the original Beckett's pioneering work in Wraith genetics, using data acquired from Michael's own research to engineer a gene therapy that had the possibility of removing a Wraith's need (and ability) to feed on the life force of others. When the treatment was implemented, however, it had disastrous results -- proving that much more work still needed to be done.
Jennifer also struck up a romantic relationship with Atlantis's lead research scientist, Rodney McKay.
