Running a genomics core facility and discussing careers in genomics - Nicky Hales

The Genomics Lab

Don't miss today's episode, as we are joined by Nicky Hales, who runs a Genomics Core Facility in Texas! This episode is a little different to usual, as we are focusing more on a genomics based career path, and excitingly, it's a career path we did not know much about - so it was a real learning curve to talk to Nicky. Nicky explains to us how she found herself in this position, what a Core Facility is (we had no idea before chatting to Nicky!), the significance of core facilities, and what a typical day looks like for Nicky. We discuss some of the techniques that Nicky runs at her facility, how she learnt all about how to perform each technique, and her favourite techniques (as well as the ones she doesn't enjoy quite so much..!).

If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to contact Nicky:
