Jennifer Brookes

Jennifer Brookes has a diverse and extensive work experience. Jennifer is currently employed as a FEP Application Scientist at Cresset software and discovery since March 2021. Previously, they worked as an Application Scientist at Schrödinger from March 2020 to December 2020. Jennifer also served as a Senior Research Associate at University College London from January 2014 to October 2019, where they led computational and theoretical bio-physicist in a multidisciplinary cohort. Their role focused on calculating and simulating the physical properties of bio-systems for the design of biosensors.

Before their time at University College London, Jennifer was a Sir Henry Wellcome Fellow at Harvard University from June 2011 to October 2013. During this period, they conducted research on quantum effects in biology, specifically in photosynthesis and olfaction. Prior to their fellowship at Harvard, they were also a Sir Henry Wellcome Fellow at MIT from January 2010 to June 2011, where their research centered on the physics of small molecule - large protein recognition, with a specialization in quantum effects in olfaction.

Jennifer's earliest work experience was as a research assistant at University College London from September 2008 to September 2009. In this position, they worked at the London Centre for Nanotechnology under the supervision of Prof. Marshall Stoneham, focusing on nanotechnology research.

Overall, Jennifer Brookes brings a deep knowledge and expertise in computational and theoretical bio-physicist to their roles, with a specialization in quantum effects in biology, olfaction, and biosensor design.

Jennifer Brookes completed their education in a chronological order. Jennifer started their academic journey in 2001 at King's College London, where they pursued a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics and Philosophy Joint Honours until 2004. In 2004, they then continued their studies at the University College London (UCL), earning a Master of Science degree in Physics in 2005. Following their Masters, they pursued a doctoral degree in Theoretical Physics at UCL from 2005 to 2008, and successfully obtained a PhD.
