Profiles in "Bioinformatics" Expertise Area

  • Maley is a biologist who specializes in cancer, evolution and computational biology. He works at the intersection of these fields.
  • Phil Hedrick is a population geneticist and conservation biologist who studies genetic variation in populations, including how genetics can impact the survival of rare and endangered species.
  • Gerkin investigates how smell perception, learning and behavior are represented in the brain. He also pursues neuroinformatics, development of tools and standards to facilitate analysis of neuroscience models and data.
  • Ruben Acuña is a software engineering Assistant Teaching Professor in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence. His background is primarily in algorithm design, compilers (static and dynamic analysis), and bioinformatics.
  • Dr. Bussey is a cancer cytogeneticist and applied bioinformatician developing tools to help oncologists fully integrate genomics into their current medical data streams to realize the promise of precision medicine.
  • Dr. Liu investigates clinical and molecular signatures of human diseases, and develops novel computational methods to discover biomarkers for early diagnosis and accurate prediction of therapeutic responses for individuals.
  • PhD student in evolutionary biology in the Center for Evolution and Medicine. Designing algorithms that produce biologically meaningful results is critical to ensuring the success of in silico approaches.
  • Sterner uses methods from philosophy and social science to investigate how knowledge systems can better address wicked problems. His current projects focus on biodiversity data, modeling, governance, and philosophy.
