Personal History

I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Biology at the University of Ottawa in 1997. During my graduate training, I focused on correlates of mate selection and examination of evolutionary models of behavior. Following my postdoctoral work at the National Cancer Institute, characterizing the mouse ATP-binding cassette family, I shifted research gears to bioinformatics. As a staff scientist at NCBI, I worked to developed bioinformatics resources such as HomoloGene, Entrez Gene, RefSeq, and MapViewer.

Research Interests

Epidemiology, Bioinformatics, Data mining, Emerging Pathogens, Molecular Epidemiology, Infectious Diseases, Statistics

Currently, I am interested in developing bioinformatic tools to bring understanding to the relationship between infectious pathogens and disease.

One of my primary projects, funded by Homeland Security, is the Gemina project. The Gemina project http://gemina.igs.umaryland.edu is a web-based system designed to identify infectious pathogens and their representative genomic sequences through selection of associated epidemiology metadata. Gemina supports the development of DNA signature-based assays for the detection of pathogens or sets of pathogen through the Insignia Signature Pipeline at the University of Maryland.

The Gemina team includes: Lynn Schriml: Principal Investigator, Aaron Gussman: Bioinformatics Engineer, Suvarna Nadendla: Bioinformatic Analayst, and Anu Ganapathy: Web Developer.

A second area of my research group involves the development of ontologies and controlled vocabularies. Ontologies represent a domain of knowledge in a semantic hierarchy. I have developed several vocabularies for the Gemina project and am involved in a number of community ontology projects such as the disease ontology, the Gaz geographic locations ontology and the EnvO environmental habitat ontology.
