Top SchoolJackie Turcinovic is a postdoctoral fellow at UTMB with a decade of experience applying bioinformatics to emerging viral threats and host responses. Trained with a PhD in Bioinformatics from Boston University, she studied viral genomics for pathogens including SARS-CoV-2, ebolaviruses, and Lassa virus at NEIDL. Her background blends hands-on computational tool development at TACC with rigorous experimental collaboration in high-containment virology labs. Jackie consistently bridges large-scale cluster computing and practical analysis pipelines to accelerate insights into severe viral infection. She brings a strong teaching and mentorship foundation from earlier university roles and a track record of translating computational methods into actionable infectious disease research. Based in Galveston, she combines deep domain expertise with a pragmatic focus on reproducible, scalable bioinformatics.
