Judith Anne Blake is a computational biologist at the Jackson Laboratory and Professor of Mammalian Genetics.[1][2][3][4][5]

Education

Blake completed her Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology in 1974 at the University of Connecticut. She moved to Harvard University for postgraduate study where she was awarded a Master of Arts degree in 1978 followed by a PhD in 1981.[6] Her PhD investigated chromosomal variation in the Jamaican lizard Anolis grahami and was supervised by Ernest Edward Williams.[4]

Career and research

Blake's research interests are in genome evolution, biomedical ontologies and mouse genetics.[1] She is one of the leaders and founding principal investigators (PIs) of the Gene Ontology (GO) consortium[7][8][9] and the Mouse Genome Database (MGD).[10]

Awards and honors

Blake was elected a Fellow of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) in 2020 for outstanding contributions to computational biology.[11]
