Jenny Taylor is Co-Theme Leader of the Oxford Biomedical Research Centre's Genomic Medicine Theme, a translational programme funded by the UK’s National Institute of Health Research based at the University of Oxford’s Wellcome Centre for Human Genetics. Jenny’s research currently focuses on the application of targeted and whole genome sequencing (WGS) to the diagnosis of rare diseases and cancer, and investigation of novel genes emerging applying a range of functional approaches. She was a coinvestigator on the WGS500 project, which was a forerunner to the UK’s 100,000 Genomes Project and also led a team to establish the clinical framework and infrastructure for WGS within the Oxford hospital setting. She continues to participate in the Genomics England programme through its Clinical Interpretation Partnerships.
