Dr Jenny Ooi is a Research Officer at Eastern Clinical Research Unit (Box Hill, Monash University) Melbourne, Australia with the Nephrology Research Group. Her research focus is on understanding the molecular basis of sarcopenia in chronic kidney disease, particularly the interactions between bone and muscle cells.

Jenny was awarded her PhD from Monash University in 2013 where she studied chromatin modifiers and DNA methylation in cardiac hypertrophy with the Human Epigenetics Laboratory. In January 2013, she joined the Cardiac Hypertrophy laboratory at Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute. Her research focused on investigating cardiac damage from anti-cancer therapies and the role of non-coding RNAs in mouse models of cardiac hypertrophy using bioinformatic and molecular approaches. She joined the Nephrology Team at ECRU Monash Box Hill in May 2023.
