Dr. Mardis is also the Director of the McDonnell Genome Institute's Technology Development group, a group that researches, tests and implements new sequencing technologies.〔(McDonnell Institute Bio )〕 Using next-generation sequencing technology, her group is developing applications and processes for use in the McDonnell Genome Institute’s sequencing projects.〔("Q&A: Wash U's Elaine Mardis on Testing New Sequencing Tech for a Large Genome Center." ) ''GenomeWeb In Sequence''. 17 February 2009.〕 Dr. Mardis also helped lead the group that sequenced the first whole cancer genome〔("Scientists Decode Cancer Cell DNA." ) ''CBS Evening News''. 6 November 2008.〕 and has since gone on to sequence many other cancer genomes to determine the genetic changes that may lead to cancer.〔("Cancer gene complexity revealed" ) ''BBC News.'' 7 August 2009.〕 Other research Dr. Mardis participates in includes human genetic variation〔(Steering Committee Member, ) 1000 Genomes Project〕 and genomics education.〔(Member, Genomics Education Partnership )〕 Dr. Mardis serves as chair of the Basic and Translational Sciences Committee for the American College of Surgeons Oncology Group (ACOSOG).〔(Chair, ACOSOG Basic and Translational Sciences Committee ). American College of Surgeons Oncology Group. 2010.〕 In 2011, she received the Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of Oklahoma College of Arts and Sciences.〔(Distinguished Alumni Award ). University of Oklahoma. 2011.〕 She also received the Scripps Translational Research award for her work on cancer genomics in 2010.〔(Scripps Genomic Medicine award ). Scripps Research Institute. 2010.〕 Prior to joining the Washington University faculty, she was a senior research scientist at Bio-Rad Laboratories in Hercules, California. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in 1984 and her Ph.D. in 1989 from the University of Oklahoma.〔("Q&A: Wash U's Elaine Mardis on Testing New Sequencing Tech for a Large Genome Center" ) ''GenomeWeb In Sequence.'' 17 February 2009.〕 ==Awards and honors== *(Distinguished Alumni Award, University of Oklahoma, 2011 ) *(Scripps Genomic Medicine Award ), Scripps Research Institute, 2010 *(Editorial Board, ) Genome Biology *(Editorial Board, Genome Research ) *(Chair, Basic and Translational Science Committee, ) American College of Surgeons Oncology Group 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elaine Mardis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
