Joan Malcolm-Albee, Biomedical Engineer<\/h3>\n

Q: How did you know about The Jackson Laboratory as a possible place to work?<\/strong>
\nA: I worked on a whale-watching boat in Bar Harbor the summer after my freshman year at the University of Maine. Every day we\u2019d pass Highseas [The Jackson Laboratory\u2019s seaside mansion], and the guide would talk a little about the Lab. When I went back to school I asked questions and kept my eyes open. I was fortunate to get an internship, then do my senior project here.<\/p>\n

Q: What\u2019s your most interesting project right now?<\/strong>
\nA: I have a lot on my plate now, but soon I\u2019ll be spending a lot of time developing a method for improving in vitro fertilization. The tools of IVF have changed little since IVF was first developed about 40 years ago, and what we want to do is take a labor- and equipment-intensive process and create a \u201cset it and forget it\u201d system. I can see our work having a significant impact throughout the research community. It will make IVF not only easier and more efficient but more effective as well.<\/p>\n

Q: You\u2019re in a specialized field. What were your career goals heading into college?<\/strong>
\nA: I grew up in Gardiner, Maine, and our family doctor inspired me to go into medicine\u2014family practice. But when I went to the University of Maine I wanted to incorporate math with the biology, and that\u2019s how I came to biomedical engineering.<\/p>\n

Q: Do you like living in the area?<\/strong>
\nA: I dreamed of living here after my first summer. I feel extremely fortunate to have gotten such a terrific, challenging job in my field in Bar Harbor. Outside of work I love outdoor activities, and you can\u2019t beat having Acadia National Park right outside your door.<\/p>\n

Q: So you plan to stay for a while?<\/strong>
\nA: My work here has given me the confidence to pursue a Ph.D. in a biomedical engineering program, so I expect I\u2019ll have to leave at some point. But my husband has a local family business and ultimately we want to return here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
