JessJess received her bachelor’s degree from Colby College in Waterville, Maine. As a post-graduate, she worked as a research technician in Dr. Leonard Zon’s lab at Boston Children’s Hospital, where her research focused on molecular regulators of blood development. She then went on to pursue her doctoral studies in the lab of Dr. Valentina Greco at Yale University School of Medicine, where she uncovered cellular and molecular regulators of calcium signaling within the stem cell pool of the skin epidermis. Jess joined the Eroglu lab as a postdoctoral researcher in 2023 and is investigating the crosstalk between astrocytes and the vasculature during brain development, as well as the brain-skin axis. Outside of lab, she enjoys spending time with her husband and cats, playing soccer, trying new food, and hiking.
