Jessica Gill

Jessica M. Gill is an American nurse scientist working as a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Trauma Recovery Biomarkers in the department of neurology at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing and School of Medicine since 2021. She was the acting deputy director of the National Institute of Nursing Research from 2019 to 2020 and deputy director of the Center for Neuroscience and Regenerative Medicine at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences until 2021.

Education Gill completed a B.S.N. with a minor in biology in 1998 at Linfield College. Gill observed that this extreme stress resulted in differing outcomes with some women being substantially impaired, whereas others were able to recover. She questioned the mechanisms underlying these divergent responses to extreme stress. Gill extended the reach of her science through the development of several collaborations including leading the biomarker core for the National Collegiate Athlete Association CARE Consortium, co-directing the Center for Neuroscience and Regenerative Medicine, and leading the biomarkers core for the Chronic Effects of Neurotrauma Consortium. She became the deputy director of the CNRM in 2019. She was elected to the National Academy of Medicine in 2021.
