Dr. Jennie Larkin
Jennie Larkin serves as the Director of the Office of Research
Evaluation and Operations (OREO) within the Division of Extramural Activities
(DEA) at the National Institute of
Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) (an
acronym-rich environment). She provides oversight of the NIDDK's referral and
disease coding/reporting functions, and of the program evaluation and analysis
capacity. She oversees the NIDDK's Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA)
publication process. Dr. Larkin also provides expertise in data management,
sharing policies, and implementation, and participates in trans-NIH committees
in this area.
Prior to her work at NIDDK, Dr. Larkin worked as a Senior Advisor in the
Extramural Programs and Strategic Planning Office of the Associate Director for
Data Science. She chaired the Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) executive committee
and oversaw BD2K extramural programs and strategic planning.
Before joining the NIH Office of Data Science, Dr. Larkin was a Health
Scientist Administrator with the Bioengineering and Genomic Applications
Scientific Review Group (SRG) in the Division of Heart and Vascular
Diseases of the National Heart Lung and
Blood Institute (NHLBI), another part of the NIH.
Prior to her work at NHLBI, Dr. Larkin was a staff scientist at The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) in
Rockville, Maryland, working with Dr. John
Quackenbush. Prior to that, Dr. Larkin was a post-doctoral fellow at
Stanford University and University of California, Berkeley. At Cal, Dr. Larkin
worked with Dr. Irving
Zucker, performing research in the field of circadian rhythms, melatonin
and torpor. Dr. Larkin received her Ph.D. in Biological Sciences from Stanford
University in 1996, studying in the laboratory of Dr. H. Craig
Heller. She received a M.S. degree in Zoology from University of
Washington in 1991. She received her B.A. degree, cum laude with Honors
in Biology, from Wellesley College in 1987.
Dr. Larkin has published a number of scholarly papers:
