Elizabeth Hutchins's Biography

Elizabeth Hutchins, Computational Scientist, The Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen)

I have a background in molecular biology and genomics, with the bioinformatic training necessary to analyze data for high-throughput genome sequencing projects. My graduate research at Arizona State University, where I received a PhD in Molecular and Cellular Biology, laid the groundwork for applying vertebrate model systems to future studies of nerve, muscle, and cartilage regeneration. My postdoctoral position at the Translational Genomics Research Institute allowed me to apply this skillset to the study of neurodegenerative disorders, as the Jensen lab has extensive experience in studying neurodegenerative disease using high-throughput sequencing of biofluids.
