Jenna Christensen is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular Biosciences at Northwestern University. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 2016. Her research focuses on understanding cellular organization and transport mechanisms within cells, exploring how cells adapt to their unique environments and perform fundamental processes involving the transport of organelles and macromolecules with spatial and temporal precision. Her lab employs a comparative biology approach, leveraging comparative genomics and cell biology to uncover the fundamental principles governing cargo transport across different species. Her work involves investigating the intracellular transport mechanisms utilized by various organisms and how these principles are adapted in non-traditional transport forms. She has published selected works in prominent journals regarding mechanisms of cargo transport and cellular processes, contributing significantly to the field.
