About Jenna

Jenna received her B.S. in neuroscience from the University of Rochester. Upon graduating she worked in a lab conducting behavioral pharmacology research outside of New York City. She came to CSU in 2012 to join the late Dr. Richard Bessen’s lab. It was in his lab that she first started studying prions. Upon his passing in 2016, she joined Dr. Glenn Telling’s lab. She is currently the lab manager and also helps with a variety of other projects, as needed.
