I direct the bioinformatics core at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. Originally trained in molecular biology, I obtained my PhD in computational genetics and my MS in statistics and did a short postdoc in epidemiology. I provide expert bioinformatics consulting services, working closely in the experimental design and analysis of genome-scale research, including studies of differential gene expression, protein phosphorylation, protein-DNA binding, DNA methylation, and DNA variation.

I'm also a registered United States patent agent with an interest in technology management.

I'd like to find clever ways to use statistics and bioinformatics to better utilize data from genetic studies, biobanks, and electronic health records to enable personalized medicine through novel discoveries in genome-scale data. I'm interested in systems biology approaches for integrating -omics data to tell an interesting story and to put findings in a biologically meaningful, functional context.

Check out my homepage, blog, or Twitter - there's a good chance I'm online.
