Mentors

TeamEllen Jorgensen, Ph.D.

Ellen is an escapee from the biotechnology industry, where she spent the past 30 years in biomedical research. She went from directing a group searching for early biomarkers of tobacco-induced disease to chasing Chad the dachsund out of the community lab area. Believe it or not she is much happier now.

Student

TeamAllison Birnbaum

Allison Birnbaum is a research assistant at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research. In addition, she is a volunteer at Genspace, and assists with laboratory instruction for classes and community events. Her background is in genetics and molecular biology, and though being outside in the sunshine is nice, she is a self-described lab rat. In the future she hopes to transition to do work into gene therapy and genetic engineering
