Jerneja Tomsic was born in Slovenia, a former part of Yugoslavia. She got her Bachelors degree in Molecular Biology (at the University of Camerino) in Italy, and in 2002 she received her PhD in Molecular Biology at the same University. In February 2005 she moved to the Department of Microbiology at Ohio State University as post-doctoral fellow where she did research on RNA in bacteria. In May 2008 she moved to Cancer Center as a post-doctoral fellow and started working in a human genetics laboratory studying genetic predisposition to colon cancer and later thyroid cancer. Since January 2017 she has been working at a cancer center in Southern California as Staff Scientist, working on genetic predisposition to breast cancer. During her career Jerneja has published several first author peer reviewed papers and collaborated with many scientists and co-authored research papers.

In February 2018 she completed Plant Based Nutrition Certificate at T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies and e-Cornell as she started realizing diseases can be prevented (even cancer). Jerneja chose the vegan path in May 2013 because of her friend, Bambi, a young Jersey bull calf/steer she helped rescue while volunteering at a sanctuary for farmed animals in Ohio. In 2020 just before the lockdown Jerneja started running a month long program that was supposed to teach people about benefits of choosing the vegan path. They had to end it short because of the lockdowns.
