Leadership
The NGS Laboratory is directed by Dr. Jeanne A. Jordan, who has more than 18 years directing clinical microbiology, virology and molecular diagnostic lab services, and over 30 years of experience developing molecular diagnostic assays for detecting infectious diseases. She is a Professor in the Department of Epidemiology at the George Washington University. Dr. Kamwing Jair, Research Scientist/NGS Specialist, has over 10 years of NGS experience for Whole Genome and Targeted DNA Sequencing as well as RNA Sequencing at NIH NIAAA and GWU. Drs. Jordan and Jair are available to consult with DC CFAR investigators on the design, budget planning and development of relevant grant applications.
