Abigail Ames, B.A.

Broad experience working with animal model based LIMS systems, including UI design, system architecture and integration, data modeling, and development.  When I started at Jax in 2003, I worked for Dr. Carol Bult in the NMF on the JaxTrack system supporting colony management and phenotyping.  I subsequently joined Computational Sciences, where I worked on the JCMS and JaxLIMS systems.  I spent a few years away from Jax working on a commercial SaaS LIMS system, primarily responsible for system architecture and DevOps. This gave me the opportunity to work with a large number of academic and commercial laboratories doing animal model research, and allowed me to participate in Microsoft engineering workgroups and case studies.  I am excited to be back as a software engineer in Computational Sciences and look forward to working on the Cube initiative.
