Summary

Dr. Jackson earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Genetic w88 slot online and Microbiology at Purdue University in 2006 and a Master of Science degree in Bacteriology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2007. She then worked as an ORISE Fellow with United States Food and Drug Administration in Bedford Park, IL. While there, Dr. Jackson conducted research on bacterial pathogens in raw milk and quality indicating organisms in leafy green wash water. She was also a member of the Proficiency Testing and Method Validation group and prepared artificially inoculated food samples for analysis in laboratories across the country. This work earned Dr. Jackson an FDA Honor Award for Development and Multi-laboratory Validation of a Rapid Molecular Method for Detection of Viruses in Foods.

In 2013, Dr. w88 slot online moved to Nottingham, UK to begin work on her Ph.D. at Nottingham Trent University. Her research there focused on the characterization of Cronobacter species, which can cause rare, but severe infections in infants and neonates. Significant accomplishments during this time include the re-evaluation of a suspected Cronobacter sakazakii outbreak in Mexico, the identification of the novel species Siccibacter colletis, and genomic analysis of the cellulose gene cluster in Cronobacter sakazakii. Additionally, Dr. w88 slot online received the International Association of Food Protection European Symposium Student Travel Award in 2015. Her research was also recognized with the with the Queen’s Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education in 2016. Dr. w88 slot online completed her Ph.D. in 2016.
