Elaine R Mardis (born September 28, 1962) is an American Professor of Genetics, with an adjunct appointment in the Department of Molecular microbiology at Washington University in St. Louis[1] and Co-Director of The Genome Institute. Dr. Mardis is also the Director of The Genome Institute's Technology Development group, a group that researches, tests and implements new sequencing technologies.[2][3][4] Using next-generation sequencing technology,[5] her group is developing applications and processes for use in The Genome Institute’s sequencing projects.[6] Dr. Mardis also helped lead the group that sequenced the first whole cancer genome[7] and has since gone on to sequence many other cancer genomes to determine the genetic changes that may lead to cancer.[8][9] Other research Dr. Mardis participates in includes human genetic variation[10] and genomics education.[11]

Dr. Mardis serves as chair of the Basic and Translational Sciences Committee for the American College of Surgeons Oncology Group (ACOSOG).[12] In 2011, she received the Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of Oklahoma College of Arts and Sciences.[13] She also received the Scripps Translational Research award for her work on cancer genomics in 2010.[14]

Prior to joining the Washington University faculty, she was a senior research scientist at Bio-Rad Laboratories in Hercules, California. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in 1984 and her Ph.D. in 1989 from the University of Oklahoma.[15]
