Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and Director of the Center for Computational Genetics.
with degrees from Duke University in Chemistry and Zoology, he co-authored research on 3D-software & RNA structure.
His PhD from Harvard in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology with Wally Gilbert included the first direct genomic sequencing method in 1984; initiating the Human Genome Project then as a Research Scientist at newly-formed Biogen Inc. and a Monsanto Life Sciences Research Fellow at UCSF. He invented the broadly-applied concepts of molecular multiplexing and tags, homologous recombination methods, and array DNA synthesizers. Technology transfer of automated sequencing & software to Genome Therapeutics Corp. resulted in the first commercial genome sequence (the human pathogen, H. pylori, 1994).
Current research focuses on integrating biosystems-modeling with personal genomics & synthetic biology.
