Research Assistant Contact details E: gemma@well.ox.ac.uk

Gemma graduated from the University of Portsmouth with a BSc (Hons) in Molecular Biology. She worked briefly for the British Bone Marrow Registry (based at the NBS, Bristol) before spending 4 and a half years working on the Cancer Genome Project at the Sanger Institute, Cambridge. Here she had the opportunity to work on many different projects, including research into Fragile-X Syndrome as well as many different types of cancer and gained a wide range of skills.

She joined the High-Throughput Genomics Group in April 2009 and currently collaborates on array based projects using the Illumina and Sequenom platforms.
