	Name	Current Title	Employer	Chair	Research
	Subramanian Shankar Ajay	Postdoctoral Fellow, Genome Informatics Section	NHGRI	Brian Athey, Inhan Lee	Thesis Defense - Novel Bioinformatics Approaches for MicroRNA Detection and Target Prediction. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are regulators of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Scientists have not been able to fully unlock their therapeutic potential because their functions and mechanisms...
	Raquel Assis	Postdoctoral Research Fellow	University of California-Berkeley, Deptartment of Integrative Biology	Alexey Kondrashov	Dr. Raquel Assis is studying the evolution of sex-biased and sex tissue-specific gene expression in Drosophila, and the evolution of new genes. She is funded by a NIH fellowship.
	Mark Benson	Account Manager	RemedyMD	Heather Carlson	Current research: I am using ab initio quantum mechanics to model the enzymatic mechanism of LpxC and to discover novel inhibitors.
	Stewart Chang	Postdoctoral Fellow	University of Washington	Denise Kirschner, Jennifer Linderman	Current research: My research concerns antigen presentation -- the process used by the immune system to identify pathogens as foreign -- and specifically how it occurs during tuberculosis. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, has been shown to interfere with antigen...
	Ji Chen	Researcher	Microsoft, Inc.	David States
	Yili Chen	Computational Biologist	Monsanto	Jessica Schwartz, David States	Current research: Project Develop novel methods or apply currently available algorithms to analyze gene expression data sets and infer genetic networks in order to understand the transcriptional regulation of cellular programs in clostridia and in megakaryocytes.
	Yu Chen	Research Scientist	Insightful, Corp.	Gordon Crippen	Current research: Dr. Chen is currently working on multiple NIH phase II Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) projects to develop analytical tools and modules for S-PLUS, including mass spectra processing / classification, and clustering algorithms on large data.
	Chad Creighton	Asst. Professor of Medicine	Baylor College of Medicine	Arul Chinnaiyan, Kerby Shedden	Current research: I primarily work in collaboration with various investigators who want help understanding their data. Recent examples of these collaborative projects include the identification and characterization of the following: Molecular changes associated with loss of progesterone receptor...
	Lan Dai	Postdoctoral Fellow	CovX Analytical Sciences	David Lubman
	Michael DeGiorgio	Postdoctoral Research Fellow	Dept. of Integrative Biology, University of CA-Berkeley	Noah Rosenberg	I am interested in using statistical population genetics and phylogenetics to understand within- and between-species evolutionary relationships. During graduate school, I worked on both theoretical and applied projects, including developing estimators of genetic diversity for samples containing...
