Senior Bioinformatics Scientist

• 2014 - 2015

Worked on mechanisms that maintain a steady transcript level across cancer cells that vary their copy number. Working with Next-Generation Sequencing (RNAseq), Affymetrix and Agilent (copy number) microarray data.

Principal Scientist, Computational Biology

• 1998 - 2005

Acted in several roles as our (Panther) group was purchased and transferred while at M.A.G., Celera Genomics, and Applied Biosystems. Principle Scientist, Computational Biology (2005): Worked out a strategy for identifying alternative spliced transcripts from EST alignments on the genome. Scientific Application Manager (2003-04): Developed scientific marketing materials for selling microarray performance and gene / transcript selection strategies in microarray design. These technical aspects were critical for selling such a complex product. Played a key role in selling first instruments. Senior Scientist (2000-2003): Led a part of the Panther group that built a library of multiple sequence alignments of protein families that covered all mammalian-relevant families (Panther Database: www.pantherdb.org). This included phylogenetic trees, HIdden Markov Models, curation of trees according to their biochemical function, and cross-referencing these trees to other biological data. Played role in assigning function to genes when Celera sequenced to human, mouse, and rat genomes that generated $100M+/yr in revenue. (Our group was transferred to Celera's sister company Applied Biosystems in 2003.) Senior Scientist (1998-1999): Published one of the first papers analyzing microarray transcription patterns with clustering tools, and showed how the groups correlated with biological function in an automated way. Performed gene expression analysis with collaborators and for customers. Used these innovations to design the Stingray gene expression analysis software. Show less
