Her PhD is in Molecular Biology with a minor in Biochemistry, received from Texas Woman’s University,Denton,TX. in 1986. She did her clinical chemistry training as a Fellow at UT Southwestern Medical Center and was board certified in clinical chemistry by the American Board of Clinical Chemistry in 1992.
Dr. Jones teaches Biochemistry to Medical Technology students at UT Southwestern School of Health Professions, and is on the faculty of a COMACC accredited Clinical Chemistry Fellowship program and ACGME accredited Pediatric Pathology Fellowship and Medical genetic fellowship programs at UT Southwestern. Her duties include instructing pathology residents and various fellows in aspects of clinical chemistry, and acting as a clinical consultant at theDallascounty hospital (Parkland) and the university hospital system. Her research interests lie in the field of inborn errors of metabolism, especially disorders of fatty acid metabolism.
