Biography

The Jenkins lab is very active and studies the utility of DNA methylation as a diagnostic tool for various complex diseases including infertility, Alzheimer's, and cancer among many others. This includes assessment of cell free DNA methylation signatures to identify the presence or absence of rare cell types. Using epigenetics, Dr. Jenkins hopes to improve outcomes for individuals with complex disease through providing early diagnosis as well as improving the success rate of infertility treatments both in terms of pregnancy outcome and offspring health.
