Jessie Satia, 1971–2010: A dedicated and talented teacher and researcher Born in Washington and raised in Cameroon, Jessie came back to this state to get her education at the UW. After earning her B.S. in microbiology, M.S. in laboratory medicine, and two degrees from our School, she was a postdoctoral fellow and then a research assistant professor at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. SPH Professor of Epidemiology and Associate Dean for Research Emily White supervised Jessie’s postdoctoral training at the Hutch from 1999 to 2001. Emily said, "Jessie was an intelligent, self-assured, knowledgeable and hard-working trainee. She was also a lovely person to work with. We reconnected in 2006 and have been research colleagues ever since. She was a productive researcher who made important contributions to the field of cancer prevention. I will greatly miss her, as she was a beautiful human being and a valued scientific collaborator." Read more about Jessie and her work. May 2010 | Return to issue home
