Here's the BBOP folks...
Suzanna LewisPrincipal Investigator MS. BiologyMS. Computer Science
I am a scientist at LBL and head the BBOP group. Basically this means I write grants and everyone else does the work. |

Chris MungallBioinformatics Scientist: Gene Ontology, OBD, Chado, B.S. Artificial Intelligence. University of EdinburghI lead the software and databases group within the Gene Ontology consortium, and am the lead developer on the OBD resource for the National Center for Biomedical Ontology. I am also involved in other projects such as the OBO Foundry and GMOD. I previously worked as a bioinformatics specialist for the HHMI where I designed a number of genomics resources such as the Chado database (with David Emmert and others). Prior to that I was at the Roslin Institute (home of Dolly) in Scotland. I studied Artificial Intelligence at the University of Edinburgh. My research interests center around the representation of biological reality, and the use of these representations to progress science and biomedicine. My old work page can be found here |

Nicole WashingtonSoftware Developer: Phenote, modENCODE Ph.D. Molecular and Cellular Biology. University of Arizona.B.S. Biology. Harvey Mudd College. I'm interested in the intersection of computers and biological research by making useful tools for real-life bench biologists, that they actually use. I'm the "data wrangler" for the Drosophila groups affiliated with the modENCODE project. I'm also involved in heavily testing the GMOD gbrowse browser. I also work on the Phenote project - I work with the biologists to get to know their needs, and turn them into requirements for writing the software. I also get my hands dirty once-in-awhile in the codebase. For OBD, I'm testing out the usefullness of a ontology-based datastore for all the annotations in the NCBO project, and beyond. Before joining this group and learning the rigors of ontologies, I spent my time staring through a microscope at worm sperm in my Ph.D. at the University of Arizona. Non-science interests: cycling, gardening, movies, life, whatnot |

Seth CarbonSoftware Developer: Amigo BS Mathematics. UC Santa CruzCurrently, I'm primarily working on AmiGO and AmiGO2 for the Gene Ontology Consortium. I am tangentially nibbling on a few other things too. Before coming to Berkeley BOP, I've worked as an English teacher and programmer for the USGS SF Bay sedimentation group. I'm new around here, so if you know any killer restaurants in the Berkeley/SF area, please let me know. Please. My personal pages can be found here. |

E.O. StinsonSoftware Developer: modENCODE MS Bioinformatics. Notre DameBS Computer Science. Something I'm working as a developer on the modENCODE project. I was also a lead developer on the VectorBase project, and so my recent experience is almost exclusively based on the development of web-based repositories for genomic information. You can find various other information about me by following the links here. |

Nomi HarrisSoftware Developer: OBO-Edit MS Computer Science. MITBS Computer Science and Molecular Biology, Princeton Nomi Harris has been part of the BBOP group (in its various incarnations) for over ten years, with a brief hiatus at a startup company. Her research interests center around visualization tools for biomedical information such as genome analysis results. Nomi joined the Human Genome Informatics group at LBNL in 1995, where she developed Genotator, one of the first sequence annotation workbenches. She then became part of the Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project. From 2002-2006, she was the project manager for the Apollo genome annotation and curation tool. Currently, she is the project manager for OBO-Edit, an ontology editing tool that was written by John Day-Richter for the Gene Ontology project. Nomi has been on the organizing committee for many bioinformatics and computational biology conferences, including the Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC) and the Annual Conference on Computational Genomics. Her publications list is here. |

Karen EilbeckSequence Ontology Ph.D. Biochemistry, University of Machester, UKMSc Bioinformatics, University of Manchester, UK BSc. Biological and Biochemical Science, University of Salford, UK I spent nearly 3 years working for the BDGP - with Suzi and Chris, before moving to Utah. I am now a Research Assistant Professor in the Human Genetics Department at the University of Utah. I curate the Sequence Ontology for the Gene Ontology Consortium and am the PI on an NHGRI grant for the development of software to facilitate the use of SO. When I am not at work, I am usually running, camping, or planning a trip to go camping. |
