Moriah Jacobson, Ph.D.
Senior Manager, US Field Applications Sciences
Dr. Moriah Jacobson joined Taconic Biosciences as a Field Applications Scientist in October 2020, recently transitioning into the role of Senior Manager, US Field Applications Sciences. She has deep expertise in the development, execution, and review of translational rodent studies. She obtained her Ph.D. in Integrative Neuroscience from Stony Brook University, where she discovered novel biomarkers for several models of chronic stress and chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment and peripheral neuropathy. She then completed her postdoctoral research at Uniformed Services University where she studied novel rapid acting antidepressant drugs targeting kappa opioid receptors.
Jessica Ramadhin, Ph.D.
Field Applications Scientist
Dr. Jessica Ramadhin received her B.A. in Biological Sciences from Cornell University and earned her Ph.D. in Infectious Diseases from the University of Georgia. During her graduate studies, she tested two anti-inflammatory compounds as therapeutics for obesity and metabolic syndrome. She then completed her postdoctoral training in the Department of Gastroenterology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she examined how myeloid-specific knockout of the glycolytic enzyme hexokinase 2 impacted rodent models of obesity, colitis, and infection. Jessica has worked with animal models for many years and has a wide range of in vivo experience related to infectious diseases, immunology, metabolism, and the gut microbiome.
