Jacqui White, Ph.D.
Director, Center for Biometric Analysis
Expert in the clinical characterization of genetically altered mice. Extensive experience establishing, troubleshooting, scaling up, and running at large scale and high throughput, a wide range of in vivo and ex vivo phenotypic platforms in the successful delivery of complex, multidisciplinary projects.
My early research interests in hereditary neurodegenerative disease led me to develop a specialty in the generation and characterization of genetically-engineered mouse models. Over the last 15 years I have applied my expertise to a variety of core phenotyping operations, with a results-oriented philosophy which has driven forward and supported the dissemination of research data.
