Jessica Lu provides strategic corporate planning for Genome BC initiatives, as well as evaluation support for reports on corporate performance for internal and external audiences. Jessica supports the development of relationships with our key stakeholders, including government relations work, by highlighting metrics, impacts and outcomes. Her extensive knowledge of Genome BC’s funding portfolio comes from working in the organization’s Sectors group for three years before joining Corporate Development. Jessica’s scientific foundation coupled with her passion for science communication make her a great fit to support Genome BC’s corporate development activities and strategic projects.

Jessica earned her B. Sc. and M. Sc. degrees from UBC, where she specialized in biodiversity and conservation, cultivating a special interest in agricultural genomics. While completing her graduate studies, Jessica participated in an internship with Bioversity International, an international research institute dedicated to preserving agricultural genetic diversity and sustainable farming practices, and investigated the policies and practices around data sharing within the crop genomics research community. Through her scientific education and training, she has been fortunate enough to do science in various global locations, including fieldwork in Ireland, SW China, and policy work in Italy.
