Applying mouse genetics expertise to research

摘要

I learned that The Jackson Laboratory had a Technical Services Advisor position opening when I was looking for academic positions after my post-doc. The position seemed to fit my personality, requiring a combination of scientific expertise and the ability to communicate with a wide variety of people. I was thrilled to move to Bar Harbor, ME, and Acadia National Park. I attended conferences and gave talks all over the US and Europe. I also had the opportunity to work on bioinformatics databases and development of mouse model information to assist scientists in choosing the best mouse for their research.
