Biosketch

Dr. Jeng is trained in cell and molecular biology and is board certified in clinical molecular genetics and clinical genetics by the American Board of Medical Genetics and Genomics. She has extensive experience in molecular genetics and has been a clinical molecular laboratory director since 2005. Her research interests include development of new molecular tests that can be offered in the clinical setting with particular interest in translational research and clinical molecular genetics.

Dr. Jeng played a critical role in the development of the first CLIA validated NGS sequencing panel for Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia (JMML) at the University of California, San Francisco in collaboration with Dr. Mignon Loh.  Dr. Jeng was a co-investigator on the clinical trial, ASCT1221 “A Randomized Phase II Study Comparing Two Different Conditioning Regiments Prior to Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT) for Children with Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia (JMML).”

At UMSOM, Dr. Jeng is the Director of Medical Genomics and the laboratory director for the Translational Genomics Laboratory (CLIA #21D2027356, CAP #8017554) that is part of the new Center for Innovative Biomedical Resources (CIBR), a 30,000 square foot renovated space that allows for inter-core collaboration.  She is involved in implementation research projects including the recently concluded Pharmacogenomics of Anti-platelet Intervention-2 (PAPI-2) (U01 HL105198-6, Shuldiner) and the current Personalized Diabetes Medicine Program (PDMP) (U01 HG007775, Pollin) for interdisciplinary investigations related to monogenic diabetes.  Dr. Jeng is also involved with medical genetics education, including teaching graduate students, medical students, residents, and fellows.
