Assay Development Scientist
Tricore Reference Laboratories
My name is Sarah Dean, PhD, and I am an Assay Development Scientist with Tricore Reference Laboratories. Currently I'm working to develop and improve assays that test for cancer and other types of genetic disorders. I'm also passionate about exploring unexpected links between humans and microbes, and in the past have worked on research in fire ecology, population ecology, biogeochemistry, and microbial ecology/microbiomes. I also have extensive experience as a science educator and science communicator.
