Feng Feng Feng is a Research Assistant Professor in the Microbiology Department at Boston Univesity School of Medicine. He received a PhD in immunology and a Master’s in Computer Science at Cornell University. He then came to Dr Kepler's group for a postdoctoral fellowship in computational immunology. His research interest is in innate immunity and dendrite cell immunology, as well as mathematical modeling of immunity. Currently, he is working on an NIH funded project. The overall goal of this project is to develop computational tools to aid in the development of vaccine adjuvants. He is also working together with other researchers to develop statistical models/tools to understand the immune responses/events occurring after the adjuvant challenges. phone: 617-638-4123 |

Cliburn Chan Cliburn’s group is interested in the development of computational, mathematical, and statistical models and software tools for monitoring and profiling the immune response, especially in the context of clinical research. They are particularly interested in the statistics of single cell dynamics as measured with single cell PCR, multi-parameter flow cytometry, and high content imaging. Their approach makes heavy use of Bayesian non-parametric methods (collaboration with Mike West's group) on extremely large data sets. One area of current interest is the use of massively parallel computation with GPUs to tackle previously impractical problems (http://www.stat.duke.edu/gpustatsci/index.html). They also collaborate closely with the Duke Center for AIDS Research Flow Cytometry Core, the Duke Translational Research Institute Immune Monitoring Core, and several clinical research groups at Duke interested in the immune response to HIV infection, lung transplantation, and melanoma regional therapy. Their software development is mostly in Python, with wrapped C/C++ code for computationally intensive routines and GPU kernels. The group’s wiki is located at http://lister.dulci.duhs.duke.edu/wiki, where further links to current research projects and software can be found. phone: 919-668-2459 |

Anna Maria Masci Anna Maria has worked for more than 15 years in the field of cellular and molecular immunology. She has been involved in studies aimed to characterize the alterations of T-cells repertoire in patients affected by primary and acquired immune deficiencies. She also investigated the activation programs of human T-cells and monocytes-derived Dendritic cells exposed to pathogen derivatives, including TLRs ligands and HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein. More recently, she directed her research interests toward computational biology, with particular focus on ontology development and automatic reasoning and their application in dynamic modeling and simulation. phone: 919-668-5894 |
