Currently Janet is the Lab Manger/Research Technician II in Dr. Amelia Gallitano's laboratory. Janet is also the research coordinator for our clinical trial which is investigating a rapid and cost effective diagnostic test for psychosis stemming from Dr. Gallitano’s research. She is excited to be returning to this high paced environment which examines complex research questions surrounding neuropsychiatric illness such as schizophrenia after spending several years in industry. She earned her master’s degree in zoology at Washington State University, Pullman by studying aggression and looking at the detrimental behavioral effects stemming from the domestication process in salmonids. Janet received her bachelor’s degree in molecular, cellular and developmental biology along with a minor in psychology at California State University, Fresno. She has two children and enjoys hiking, camping and bike riding.
