Profile
Jessica earned a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from New Mexico State University in 2000 and in 2005, completed her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University. Her research involved the use of near-infrared, frequency-domain photon migration for molecular imaging of breast cancer. Her preclinical studies in small animal models at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center culminated in clinical trials conducted at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX.
She joined the NFCR in May of 2006 and began work on frequency-domain flow-cytometry measurements. She is currently optimizing phase-sensitive cytometry instrumentation to acquire fluorescent lifetime measurements for novel biological applications.
