@ EMBL-EBI

Jess is fascinated by computational biology and environmental toxicology, which she discovered as an undergrad at Harvard University researching heavy metals in marine mammals with Dr. Elsie Sunderland. She earned a PhD in Bioinformatics at McGill University with Dr. Nil Basu, developing statistical methods and software for analyzing toxicogenomics data from ecologically relevant species, followed by a postdoc with Dr. Jeff Xia to advance her bioinformatics and web development skills. Jess also completed postdoctoral training with the Carpenter-Singh Lab at the Broad Institute, where she used Cell Painting and multi-omics data from in vitro screens to detect chemical toxicity. She joined EMBL-EBI as a group leader in 2025.
