Rebecca Smith, M.S., CGC

Clinical Research Project Manager

With a background in clinical human genetics, I aim to bridge the needs of rare disease families and foundations with the scientific capabilities at JAX.

As a Clinical Research Project Manager, I serve as the liaison between external collaborators and the scientific teams at JAX's Rare Disease Translational Center (RDTC).

We aim to provide patients and their families with rare disease - as well as foundations, academic researchers, and biotech/pharma - an efficient pathway from diagnosis to therapy at scale. The RDTC works to understand the molecular underpinnings of disease, pinpoint targetable pathways, and evaluate drug tolerability and efficacy in precise mouse models.

Building on JAX's extensive rare disease experience and robust collaborative partnerships, we are ready to be your trusted partner in advancing rare disease research. We bring efficiency and innovation to the forefront of all of our work. Please connect with our team to learn how we can support your scientific goals!
