Biography

Dr. Jennifer Wilson is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Bioengineering at UCLA. She obtained her PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2016 and has expertise in protein-protein interaction networks and their application in identifying drug targets relevant to cancer. During her graduate studies, she focused on using these networks to unveil new pathways implicated in leukemia and growth-factor-driven cancers. Her postdoctoral work led to the development of a novel network synergy metric that helps prioritize druggable targets based on associations with known disease pathways. She has published significant research in reputable journals, including studies on drug efficacy, safety, and innovative approaches to understanding drug-induced cytopenias. Her research interests involve modeling downstream effects of drug targets and understanding the complex mechanisms underlying cellular responses in various diseases, particularly in the context of cancer research.
