Jane Petersonheadline bar Return to 2003-04 *"Genomic Tools for Discovery"*   Jane Peterson, Ph.D. **Program Director, NIH-NHGRI** **Building 003 Auditorium March 16, 2004 10:30 AM**
   Dr. Jane Peterson is Associate Director of Extramural Research at the NIH National Human Genome Research Institute and Program Director for the NHGRI Comparative Genomics Program. After conducting postdoctoral research in genetics at the Yale University School of Medicine and the NIH, she became an Assistant Program Director for the NSF Developmental Biology program. She then rejoined NIH, where she has been involved in administering several cutting-edge research initiatives. Specifically, she was involved from the early stages of both GenBank and large-scale sequencing projects at NIH for humans and other eukaryotes. Most recently, she aided consortia for sequencing the human and mouse genomes and for identifying disease-gene variation in humans (the 'HapMap' project). Dr. Peterson received her PhD. in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology from UC-Boulder in 1975.
