Michael is a Scientific Consultant for BioTeam, specializing in Bioinformatics. While completing a bachelor's degree at University of Florida, Michael developed IMAGEne to analyze human ESTs on an LLNL.gov computer cluster. At Gene Logic, he developed numerous Perl pipelines including a system for bidirectional integration of Wyeth's Affymetrix microarray data. After extensive travels through South East Asia, Michael returned to the DC area to work for Celera and SAIC. While at Celera he developed software to detect indels and methylations in the human genome. His work with mpiBlast for SAIC allowed bench scientists to design microarrays to detect and distinguish strains of bacteria and viruses. He continues his education through classes at the NIH, Georgetown and online. |
