Tim Clark
Director
Tim Clark was one of the
early developers of NCBI
GenBank, and beginning in 1994 founded the
highly innovative program in Informatics at
Millennium
Pharmaceuticals, where he was Vice President
of Informatics. From 2002-2003 he chaired the
consortium responsible for developing the LSID
interoperability specification. In 2003 he was a
co-recipient of the Bio-IT World Grand Prize for
Best Practices in Pharmaceutical Informatics. He
holds an M.Sc. in Computer Science from Johns
Hopkins, and is a founding Editorial Board member
of the journal Briefings
in Bioinformatics. He currently directs the
MIND Center for Interdisciplinary Informatics, and
holds appointments as a Computer Scientist at
Massachusetts General Hospital and an Instructor
in Neurology at the Harvard Medical School.
Yong Gao
Computer Scientist
Yong Gao's early research
was in artificial intelligence, natural language
processing and information search and extraction.
He has an extensive background as an industrial
software architect for large-scale integrated
knowledge systems, including major commercial
systems in pharmaceutical cheminformatics. His
current work focuses on integration of multi-modal
research information in neurodegeneration,
including genetics, bioimaging and psychiatric
assessment. Dr. Gao holds a Ph.D. in Computer
Science from Boston University. He is an Associate
in Computer Science at the Massachusetts General
Hospital and and Instructor in Neurology at the
Harvard Medical School.
Berengere
Bouzou
Bioinformatician
Berengere Bouzou is a
biomedical informatician whose work currently
centers on statistical analysis of RNA expression
experiments in human and animal neurobiology. She
received her Ph.D. in bioengineering from the
University of Paris XIII and subsequently trained
in the laboratory of Robert Rosenberg at MIT,
where did computational simulations of
polymerization reactions in complex mixtures of
carbohydrates and taught microarray analysis
courses. She is an Instructor in Neurology at the
Harvard Medical School and at Massachusetts
General Hospital.
Georgios
Asteris
Principal Software Engineer
Georgios Asteris
studied philosophy of science at Boston
University, and holds an MS in Mathematics from
the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. He
worked as a software engineer at Computerized
Library Systems and Kodak. In 1993-95 he was a
Graduate Fellow at the Dibner Institute at MIT,
where he developed
simulations investigating the statistics of the
Luria-Delbrück distribution in bacterial genetics. From
1996 to 2003 he worked in the Informatics group at
Millennium Pharmaceuticals developing systems for human
genetic analysis and mRNA transcription analysis.
