Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJessica Way is a software engineer at the Broad Institute with nine years of experience bridging molecular biology and software development. Trained as a molecular biologist (M.S. in Biochemistry) and holding an MCIT in Computer Science from UPenn, she moved from hands-on research on Alzheimer’s, cancer epigenetics, and the microbiome into building genomic software and integration tests. Her roles have ranged from lab manager and research scientist—where she trained students and ran lab operations—to developing production-quality tests for genetic data at Ancestry, giving her rare end-to-end insight from wet lab protocols to production code. Based in Cambridge, she excels at translating interdisciplinary scientific needs into reproducible computational solutions.
