Showcase [AI] presents a talk and Q&A session with Dr. Jennifer Weller, NSF Program Officer, BIO Centers, Facilities, and Additional Research Infrastructure Cluster (CFARI) & Accelerating Research Translation (ART). Open to faculty, staff, students, and the public. 

Dr. Jennifer Weller received her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Montana in 1990. She subsequently did a post-doc at Michigan State University and the Carnegie Institute at Stanford University, before joining the biotechnology company PE/Applied Biosystems in 1994. After 5 years in R & D working on automated molecular marker and gene expression systems, she moved to the National Center for Genome Resources in 1999 to work more specifically on the bioinformatics research associated with high-throughput genomics research. After a year as research faculty at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute at Virginia Tech she moved to a tenure-track faculty position in the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology department at George Mason University in 2002. Dr. Weller joined the department at UNC Charlotte in June 2007.

Light refreshments will be provided.
