Jill Jenkins joined the lab in October 2019, shortly after we expanded the computational lab into new space in the Core Lab building at Kannapolis.

Jill is pursuing a masters degree in Bioinformatics. In addition to bioinformatics, Jill brings a deep knowledge of biology and how to retrieve biological data from on-line database, notably Ensembl and BioMart.

In addition to pitching in on testing for the IGB project, Jill is primarily serving as Bioinformatics Data Manager, performing the complex tax of searching out new data sets to include the IGB Quickload data sharing system. She also writes code (python) to manage and process data.
