Jennifer Keynton is the Diagnostics R&D Manager at Horizon Discovery. Horizon Discovery provides tools and services related to cell-line engineering. The Diagnostics R&D team designs and develops cell-line derived reference standards that mimic patient samples. These reference standards offer a highly controlled and reproducible resource to help ensure consistency during the establishment and validation of diagnostic assays. Prior to her role as Manager, Jennifer worked as a Senior Scientist in the team and worked closely with EQA providers to design and manufacture reference standards to be used as proficiency testing material. Before joining Horizon, Jennifer was a PostDoc at the Medical Research Council in Oxford UK, studying the role of cilia in development and congenital disease.
