Jake Szamosi

Research Assistant

Jake Szamosi’s  initial interests began in Linguistics and Math at McGill but she finished her Bachelor’s degree at University of Toronto studying Biology. In her final year she fell in love with the computational side of life from one Computer Science course. She pursued this interest by completing her Master’s degree in the Dushoff Lab at McMaster University in Computational Biology. She brings her vast skill set in computational biology and statistics and merges it with the bacterial genome analysis and sequencing part of the Surette Lab to bridge the gap between biology and bioinformatics for us. She will often be found with either knitting needles or a book in hand and when not at her computer she enjoys a run or ride outdoors.
