She was a Fogarty engineering fellow in collaboration with Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the Little Devices laboratory at MIT. She then moved to Boston University’s Biomedical Engineering department where she received a NIH NRSA postdoctoral fellowship to work with Dr. Catherine Klapperich to develop molecular diagnostics for point-of-care pathogen detection. Jackie’s current research bridges innovations in basic science and translational diagnostic techniques in order to develop non-invasive, rapid detection technologies that efficiently diagnose and monitor diseases at the point of care.
