I am a member of the PharmGKB project in Russ Altman's lab
at Stanford University School of Medicine. PharmGKB is a pharmacogenomics
and pharmacogenetics data base designed to aid researchers in understanding
the effects of genetic variation on patient drug response. I recently joined
the project as the scientific curator. I
will be working with research groups from around the country to ensure their
experimental findings are successfully deposited into PharmGKB
(www.pharmgkb.org).
I was also a member of Russ's lab as a graduate student at Stanford.
My thesis research focused on the RiboWeb bioinformatics project. RiboWeb is a
web-based system designed to provide a computational environment facilitating
ribosomal modeling and evaluation by linking a knowledge base of experimental
structural data regarding the ribosome to molecular modeling and
evaluation programs. [background]
