Jocelyn Krebs, PhD is a Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences and the WWAMI School of Medicine at the University of Alaska Anchorage. Her research in the field of epigenetics led her to study one of the genes deleted in WS, and several years later she had a child with WS and thus brings both a mother’s and a scientist’s perspective to the board. She has a passion for supporting high-impact research and for helping make complex science understandable and is a frequent convention speaker on the genetics of Williams syndrome. She lives in Portland Oregon with her wife Susannah and her sons Rhys (born 2009, WS) and Frey (born 2012).
