Summary
Jasmine Baker is a Staff Scientist and bioinformatics communicator with a PhD in Genome Sciences and over a decade of experience bridging wet-lab genomics and computational analysis. She combines hands-on molecular techniques (PCR, NGS) with production-grade data analysis in Python and R to drive variant and gene curation work for ClinGen and NHGRI-funded resources. At Baylor College of Medicine she translates complex literature evidence into ClinGen classifications, trains curators, and liaises between clinical experts and software teams to improve curation workflows. Her background spans predictive proteomics, population genomics, and translational stroke research in sickle cell disease, giving her a rare fluency across experimental design, high-dimensional data, and scientific writing. She also develops educational content and bioinformatics curricula, reflecting a consistent focus on making genomics accessible to diverse audiences.
