A Federation psychiatrist responsible for four genetically engineered patients living at an institute, who brings them to Deep Space 9 hoping that Julian Bashir can help them find a place in society.
Doctor Karen Loews appears in Statistical Probabilities, played by Jeannetta Arnette.
She is the physician in charge of Jack, Patrick, Lauren and Sarina Douglas, four people whose illegal genetic enhancement as children left them brilliant but unable to live independently. In 2374 she brings the group to Deep Space 9, reasoning that Bashir, who was enhanced himself yet serves in Starfleet, might reach them where conventional therapy has not.
Loews is patient with her charges and realistic about them, and she is uneasy when their talent for analysis is turned to projecting the course of the Dominion War. She returns with them to the institute once Bashir stops their attempt to pass Starfleet's plans to the Dominion.
