Ladeana Hillier is a biomedical engineer and computational biologist.[1] She was one of the earliest scientists involved in the Human Genome Project[2] and is noted for her work in various branches of DNA sequencing,[3][4][5][6][7] as well as for having co-developed Phred,[8] a widely used DNA trace analyzer.[9][10]
