I am a computational biologist, trained as a geneticist and phylogeneticist and my interests are focused on comparative genomics and evolution.  I have used bioinformatics techniques extensively for genome analysis, genome annotation, and comparative genomics.  I develop and use scientific software tools for data analysis and visualization.  I also do research in genome structure and evolution and have ongoing collaborations with large-scale cross-species RNAi, RNA-Seq and EST-based gene expression analysis.  I am active in the Generic Model Organism Database (GMOD) Project.

My background is in genetics and bioinformatics. I have a solid grounding in both molecular and computational biology. I work as a lead scientific data analyst at Regeneron Pharmaceuticals. My role is to develop and implement data management practices for the Tier 1 pre-therapeutic target discovery group, identifying potential targets for future biological drug therapies. This is the earliest phase of preclinical research and is science and discovery focused.
