Associate Director
Dr. Hilary Scott received her PhD in Genetics from Texas A&M University studying the role of posttranslational modifications in neural development and physiology. In 2018, she joined Ocular Genomics Institute at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary in the Department of Ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School for her postdoctoral training on the genetic causality of inherited retinal degenerations. Since the start of 2022, Dr. Scott has been the Associate Director of the Genomics Core in the OGI. She continues to be interested in the impact of genetic variation that is missed by current sequencing techniques. Her current work focuses on developing methods to validate potential disease-causing variants uncovered by Whole Genome Sequencing.

Research Technologist
Evelyn received her bachelor’s degree from Boston University in Biology, specializing in Neurobiology, with a minor in Physics. She worked in the Ho/Beffert Lab investigating neurodegeneration through the interaction between Aldolase A and Actin and its impact on neuronal morphology. Evelyn interned with the OGI beginning in the summer of 2021 before becoming a Research Technologist in the Core.
