Jenna Cohen

Jenna Cohen received a BS in Genetics and Genomics and a certificate in Chinese from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2023. While at UW, she worked in multiple labs, but ultimately ended up in the Palecek lab doing research focused on modeling the Blood-Brain Barrier using iPSCs. This lab sparked her interest in neuroscience and inspired her to continue research in this field, leading her to the Gan Lab. 

She loves to apply her studies in genetics to other areas of science. In the future, she is interested in exploring research in the fields of immunology and cancer immunology, virology, and developmental biology. When she is not in the lab, Jenna can be found at a concert, sitting in the park reading a thriller novel, or trying out a new recipe for her friends and family.
