Jennifer M. Franks, PhD
I am currently a postdoctoral research fellow in Cole Trapnell's lab in the Department of Genome Sciences at University of Washington. I received my PhD in Quantitative Biomedical Sciences from the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth College, where I worked with Michael Whitfield, PhD to study the systemic autoimmune disease scleroderma. My research interests include genomics, computational immunology, fibrosis, statistics for big data, and machine learning.

About Me
My scientific research interests have evolved at the intersection of computational analysis and traditional bench work, with a focus on developing novel data science techniques to produce clinically-relevant results. I hope to contribute to greater understanding of complex disease through big data analysis. Ballroom dancer. Hiker. Corgi mom.
