Scientific Manager | Tree of Life Programme

Jemma overseeing the management of the routine wet lab processes within the Tree of Life Core Lab at Sanger, ensuring that samples are progressed through sample preparation, DNA and RNA extraction and fed through to central Sanger teams in order to generate all the required data for reference genome assembly.

Jemma manages the routine processes and competency frame work within the Tree of Life Core Lab and facilitates the transition of new techniques into established routine processes.

Jemma works with the Programmes Sample Management and Project Management teams to make samples available to the Core Lab. Jemma leads the development of a management system to ensure genome coverage is met for all the species that pass through the Tree of Life Core Lab which involves working closely with the Tree of Life Platforms team.
