About

Dr. Jessica Olsen is a translational researcher whose work has been pivotal in strengthening public health infrastructure during global health emergencies. Her primary research areas include pandemic preparedness, diagnostic scalability, and healthcare system resilience. Dr. Olsen’s most notable contribution is her landmark 2020 study, “Scalable and Resilient SARS-CoV-2 testing in an Academic Centre,” which has garnered 14 citations. In this work, she addressed the critical shortage of COVID-19 testing capacity by designing a rapid, high-throughput testing protocol that allowed academic medical centers to process thousands of samples safely and efficiently. This framework not only protected frontline healthcare workers from unnecessary exposure but also served as a blueprint for institutions worldwide facing similar surges. Beyond this, Dr. Olsen’s broader portfolio explores how academic and clinical partnerships can be leveraged to build flexible, surge-ready diagnostic systems. Her insights have been instrumental in shaping institutional policies for future outbreak response, earning her recognition as a key voice in operational epidemiology. For students and researchers, Dr. Olsen’s work exemplifies how rigorous, applied science can directly safeguard communities during crises.
