教育: BS, University of Puget Sound, 1995; MAT, 美国西雅图大学, 1998; PhD, 华盛顿大学, 2007. 自2012年起在SPU工作.
珍妮Tenlen joined the 生物系 at SPU in 2012, coming from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, where she was a postdoctoral research associate and teaching fellow. 在获得博士学位之前, she taught high school biology, 化学, and physical science in the 西雅图 area. At SPU, her teaching interests include general biology, genetics, and developmental biology.
Dr. Tenlen’s research focuses on the genetics and evolution of 胚胎 development, particularly in tardigrades (water bears) and nematodes. Dr. Tenlen’s research students are working to identify and characterize genes that are necessary for germ cell development in tardigrades. Working in collaboration with Dr. Bob Goldstein’s lab at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, students in Dr. Tenlen’s “遗传学” and “Principles of 发展” courses have contributed to research on the specification of cell fate in nematodes. 最近，Dr。. Tenlen和Dr. Eric Long have collaborated on a project to assess the genetic diversity of black-tailed deer on 布莱克岛.
In addition to teaching and research, Dr. Tenlen is active in science outreach as a mentor, 客座教授, and science fair judge at the elementary and high school levels. She is a member of the Speaker’s Bureau at the Northwest Association for Biomedical Research, and has worked with teachers in the Science Education Partnership program at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center to incorporate inquiry-based activities using nematodes into their curriculum.
As part of SPU's celebration of first-generation college students, Dr. Tenlen wrote about her own experiences as a first-gen college graduate.
