Dr. Froggi (Shawn) Jackson

Dr. Froggi (Shawn) Jackson brought a unique blend of experience in environmental and biomedical sciences when she joined Gryphon in 2013. With an undergraduate degree in marine science from Duke, Froggi earned a PhD in Virology from Harvard, studying HIV vaccine immunology in animal models. She combined her interests in immunology, virology, and marine biology in post-doctoral studies of anti-viral immunology in fish, sharks, and frogs, with an emphasis on viruses important to the aquaculture industry. At Gryphon, Froggi has expanded her expertise, leading a variety of studies of chemical and biological risk assessment.

Froggi is a real-deal “soccer mom”. When she’s not ferrying around 2 boys, she’s kicking the ball herself, refusing to give in to age and injury. The supply of dark chocolate in her office may or may not be directly related.
