Jackie joined the Academic and Industry Agreements team to accelerate the goals of the OHSU research community.  Jackie has prior OHSU institutional knowledge managing a pre-clinical gene therapy research program for dominant genetic diseases.  Most recently she worked with a patient advocacy organization to grow their scientific research program to speed development and implementation of new therapies in inflammatory disease through grant funding, access to the patient biobank, and fostering multi-institutional collaborations. 

In her free time Jackie enjoys staying active, whether that is a hike exploring all the beauty Oregon has to offer or working up a sweat in a dance fitness class.  She also considers herself a “foodie” and has picked up a love of cooking, especially with local produce.
