Jennifer Malon, M.S., M.P.H.
COBRE Program Coordinator
Location
Jennifer received her B.A. in 2004 from Colby-Sawyer College in New London, NH. Soon after graduation she started graduate school at the University of New Hampshire, in Durham, NH. She graduated in 2007 with her Master’s in Animal Science. After graduation she began working in UNE's microbiology department in the College of Osteopathic Medicine for Ling Cao, M.D., Ph.D., and James Vaughn, Ph.D. She went on to manage Dr. Cao’s lab for 7 years. In December 2014, she earned her M.P.H. though UNE. Jennifer is now the Program Coordinator and Evaluator for the COBRE grant under Ian Meng, Ph.D., where she carries out administrative duties for the grant. She also assists Dr. Meng in the daily management of the Center for Excellence in the Neurosciences. Jennifer brings with her many years of lab experience but also her interest in public policy and advocacy to public health issues.
