BU Marine Program\u00a0gave me my first start doing real research and I have a lot of fond memories of my two semesters with the program\u00a0at the MBL.<\/p>\n
After leaving BU, I earned a Masters degree at the University of British Columbia. For my degree I studied subtidal invertebrate and algal communities in the Strait of Georgia. After that I spent an additional few years at the Bamfield Marine Station, developing methods for assessing the total biomass of giant kelp in coastal BC. I later transitioned into the field of molecular evolutionary biology and earned a Ph. D. at Simon Fraser University in 1990. After pursuing post-doctoral research at the University of Chicago and NIH, I moved to Madison, Wisconsin to join a software company called The Genetics Computer Group (GCG). Apart from an eight year stint working as a scientist at the University of Wisconsin, where I managed a high-throughput bioinformatics facility, I have remained working in the private sector.<\/p>\n
I am currently a Senior Scientist with a bioinformatics software company called DNASTAR, located in Madison, WI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13131,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/bump\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/3997"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/bump\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/bump\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/bump\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13131"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/bump\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/3997\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3999,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/bump\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/3997\/revisions\/3999"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/bump\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
