Research Interests and Accomplishments

A recognized leader in the field of designing and deploying large-scale DNA sequencing projects and pipelines, Yu-Hui C. Rogers joined the Venter Institute in 2002. She currently serves as the Vice President of Core Technology Development and Services at the J. Craig Venter Institute. Ms. Roger’s areas of expertise include development, implementation, and management of DNA sequencing facilities and nucleic acid technology development.

Before joining the Venter Institute, she was the Manager of Sequencing Research and Development at Celera Genomics. She was instrumental in the development and implementation of the Celera high-throughput sequencing pipeline that allowed the human genome sequence to be completed in 14 months. In addition, she was responsible for implementing and managing a forensic resequencing pipeline at Celera. This pipeline was specifically set up to perform the mtDNA resequencing on the World Trade Center (WTC) victim and reference samples for the purpose of identifying the WTC victims.

Prior to joining Celera, she was a scientist at Molecular Tool, Inc. At Molecular Tool, she was involved in the developed of several novel methods for nucleic acid sequence detection and analysis.
