Ana is a Salve Regina University alumni, and graduated with a B.S. in Biochemistry in 2022. Her undergraduate research was focused on antibiotic resistance, quorum-sensing inhibition, and natural drug design. Here at JAX, Ana is an integral member of the Genome Technologies team, assisting in many of our workflows including nucleic acid extraction and QC, RNA library preparation (mRNA, total RNA), and DNA library preparation (whole genome, exome). In this role, her daily tasks include using automation for liquid handling (Sciclone, Tecan, and Janus), as well as qPCR, Qubit, and Bioanalyzers for our QC workflows. Additionally, she is cross trained in the Sanger Sequencing department and work as a part time member when needed.
