Lauren Parker Jackson (CV)
Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences & Biochemistry
Lauren completed her Ph.D. at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology and Trinity College, Cambridge, UK. She then worked as a consultant for the Boston Consulting Group in London before joining David Owen's lab in Cambridge for postdoctoral work. When not in the lab, Lauren enjoys sports (CrossFit, swimming), music, wine tasting, and spending time with her two children, husband, and huge Southern family.
