Van Etten contributes the perspective of a biologist in helping BioTeam's academic, government, biotech and pharma clients solve their computer-aided research problems. His mission to provide "ease-of-use" to scalable research computing is expressed through his contribution to the development of BioTeam's iNquiry software product. Van Etten received his PhD in Genetics at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. Following his graduate research, Van Etten was Senior Software Engineer at the MIT/Whitehead Institute Center for Genome Research where he contributed to the genetic mapping of the rat, and was the Head of Informatics for the Mouse Radiation Hybrid Mapping Project as well as Whitehead's contribution to the SNP Consortium. Van Etten took these high-throughput computing (HTC) research skills to Blackstone Computing as Principal Bioinformaticist where he designed, built and configured HTC environments to support computer-aided research for many academic, biotech, and pharmaceutical institutions. |
