Summary
Jenna Calderbank is an epidemiologist and part-time lecturer with 11 years of experience blending molecular biology and public health analytics. She holds an MS in Epidemiology from UMass Amherst and has led biomonitoring and large-scale analytic projects using R and SAS at state and private institutions, including the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and Optum. Her research spans genomics, infectious and chronic disease, and quality-of-care methods, grounded in hands-on lab skills from PCR and flow cytometry to ELISA and tissue culture. She has translated technical findings into public-facing education—developing a sustainable tick-borne disease intervention and accessible data interfaces for policy audiences. Known for meticulous attention to detail and strong communication, she seeks roles that integrate genetic and cellular biology insights with population-level epidemiologic research.
