Eugenia (Jane) Romantseva (Fed)

Engineer

Eugenia (Jane) Romantseva is a staff engineer supporting the Cellular Engineering Group. Her current work focuses on developing measurement assurance for cell-free expression systems to promote reproducibility, best practices, and standards. Jane is also part of the collaborative effort to leverage automation, specifically the NIST Living Measurement Systems Foundry, for (1) high throughput measurements of genotype-phenotype landscapes for genetic sensor engineering, (2) rapid prototyping of engineering biological parts to speed innovation in synthetic biology workflows, (3) developing measurement assurance for predictable engineering with living systems on a commercial scale.
