Education and teaching

Baker graduated Hamline University with a BA in Biology in 1989. She then earned her PhD in Molecular Genetics and Genetics and Developmental Biology from Columbia University in 1995. From 1995-1999 Baker studied Developmental Biology and Embryology at the University of California, Berkeley.[5]

Baker is now a Professor of Genetics at Stanford University.[3][6]

Research

Baker has published work in several academic journals, including Genome Research, Developmental Biology, Placenta, Development, and Developmental Dynamics.[5] Her research on the ancestral origin of the human placenta has been covered by The Wall Street Journal and The Scientist.[7][8]

Baker's collaborators include Richard Harland and Anne Brunet.

Baker was one of the winners of the 2019 Discovery Innovation Awards.[9]
