Senior🎓
Top SchoolJeanette Johnson is a computational immunologist and postdoctoral researcher with nine years of experience bridging genomics, immunology, and software engineering to decode the pancreatic tumor microenvironment. Currently in Dr. Elana Fertig’s lab at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, she develops computational methods to interpret clinical genomics from tumor, immune, and stromal compartments. She completed a PhD in Immunology at Johns Hopkins after dual undergraduate training in computer science and microbiology/immunology at UBC, giving her a rare blend of wet‑lab context and strong coding foundation. Her background includes industry software experience (OpenDNS/Cisco) and leadership in student science organizations, reflecting an ability to translate complex research into usable tools and collaborative projects. Actively seeking a second postdoctoral position for a 2026 start, she combines rigorous computational method development with a focus on translational impact in pancreatic cancer immunology.
