Jessica Hall graduated from UC Berkeley in 2006 with a bachelor of arts degree in psychology. While studying at Berkeley, Jessica volunteered her time as a research assistant in the Personality Psychology Lab and worked on a psychophysiological research study for the Relationships and Social Cognition Lab. After graduating, Jessica worked at the UCSD Liver Center for over a year as a clinical research coordinator for Hepatitis C treatment trials. Jessica specialized in coordinating Phase III and Phase IV treatment studies for patients who had not received treatment for their Hepatitis C.

Jessica joined the UCSF Memory and Aging Center's clinical trials team in October of 2007. Jessica is the primary study coordinator on several Alzheimer's Disease treatment trials, including a Phase III trial consisting of an infusion of monoclonal antibodies against beta-amyloid and a Phase II vaccine trial that targets the beta-amyloid protein. These interventional clinical trials aim to find effective treatments for patients with Alzheimer's disease, something which has grown increasingly important and necessary in today's society.
