Personal profile

Area of Expertise

Dr. Jennifer Cihlar's research interests lie in the development and application of human identification, population genetics analyses, and development of molecular biology technologies. Jennifer’s current research projects focus on defining the molecular biology of library preparation and the chemistry of massively parallel sequencing technologies. The genetic markers of her primary interest are those of forensic relevance such as the mitochondrial genome, microsatellites, and single nucleotide polymorphisms. Jennifer is also directing the transfer of massively parallel sequencing into the operational laboratories of UNTHSC Center for Human Identification’s Missing Persons Unit and Forensic Unit.
