Early life and education edit

Jennifer E. Van Eyk was born in Northern Ontario, Canada.[2] She obtained a bachelor of science in biology and chemistry from the University of Waterloo in 1982.[3] She received a PhD in biochemistry under the direction of Robert S. Hodges from University of Alberta in 1991.[4] She conducted post-doctoral research at University of Heidelberg, University of Alberta, and University of Illinois at Chicago with R. John Solaro.[1]

Career edit

Van Eyk began her academic career in 1996 as an assistant professor in the Department of Physiology at Queen's University, Kingston, Canada, and she was promoted to associate professor and received tenure in 2001.[3][5] She then left Canada to join Johns Hopkins University as the Director of the Proteomics Innovation Center in Heart Failure in 2003, and later Cedars-Sinai in 2014.[1][5][2]

Van Eyk is a member-at-large and a council member of Human Proteome Organization,[6] and the president of US Human Proteome Organization.[7] She was a technical briefs editor at Proteomics.[8] She served on the editorial board of Proteomics: clinical application and Journal of Physiology and Circulation Research.[9] She currently serves on the editorial board of Clinical Proteomics.[10] She is a Fellow of the International Society for Heart Research.[11] and is a Fellow of the American Heart Association.

Research edit

She is an international leading scientist in clinical proteomics.[12] She is the founding director of Cedars-Sinai Advanced Clinical Biosystems Research Institute,[13] whose motto is “from discovery to patient care”.[14]

She is co-editor of Clinical Proteomics: From Diagnosis to Therapy,[15] an essential, important and impressive book in clinical proteomics and translational medicine.[16]
