Areas of expertise
Genomics, data science, bioinformatics. Focussed on a wide range of basic science and translational research projects, including those related to cancer and other diseases.
BIO
- Bioinformatician finding high performance computing solutions to the analysis of high-throughput -omics data.
- Focused on the analysis of genome-wide expression data and systems biology. Research has expanded to include variant analysis and metagenomics.
- Ph.D. in Plant Biology UVM, studying the evolution of an arctic-subarctic section of marsh sedges with Dr. David Barrington.
- Postdoctoral research, evolution of salt tolerance through hybridization with Dr. Marcia Waterway at McGill University.
- In 2010, joined UVM Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics as a bioinformatician with the Bioinformatics Shared Resource.
- In 2014, Director of the Bioinformatics Shared Resource (BSR), the Larner College of Medicine’s bioinformatics core facility.
- In 2017, Director of the Vermont Integrative Genomics Resource (VIGR), which fused the BSR with the Advanced Genome Technologies Core (AGTC).
