@janetteedson
Currently I’m the sequencing manager at QLD Brain Institute, as well as technical support for UQ Genomics. My background is in applying technology to genomics, especially new and emerging technologies, and I’ve work in everything from neuroscience to forensic genetics! As well as being passionate about technology and genomics, I also am working toward enabling more people to engage with science. I’m a firm believer that everyone is a scientist, we all have a curiousity about the world and I’d like to see more people reach their potential and learn about all the awesome things science has to offer.
