About this team member

Jessica was an undergraduate at Grand Valley State University and graduated with her PhD in Chemistry from Michigan in 2006. She recently published the first AFM images ever acquired of a cell undergoing programmed cell death (Langmuir 2005, 21, 9280-9286).  After graduation, she worked at the Van Andel Institute in the lab of Craig Webb.  She is now working in the field of intellectual property at McGarry Bair PC.
