Jenny Morrell-Falvey is a Staff Scientist in the Life Sciences Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. She received her B.A. in Biology from Saint Marys University in Winona, MN in 1991 and her Ph.D. in Genetics from Purdue Universityin 1997. Her current research focuses on the use of genomic and live cell imaging tools to study bacterial metabolism.
