Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Dr. George Church, PhD. is Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and Director of the Center for Computational Genetics. He completed his PhD at Harvard in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology with Walter Gilbert, developing the first direct genomic sequencing method in 1984. In that year he helped initiate the Human Genome Project. He was then a Research Scientist at newly-formed Biogen Inc. and a Monsanto Life Sciences Research Fellow at UCSF. Dr. Church later helped to found the Stanford, MIT, and Waltham Genome Centers. He invented the broadly applied concepts of molecular multiplexing and tags, homologous recombination methods, and array DNA synthesizers. Technology transfer of automated sequencing and annotation software to Genome Therapeutics Corp. resulted in the first genome sequence sold commercially (the human pathogen, H. pylori). His innovations in genomics, computational biology, genetics and systems biology have been the basis for a number of companies. Dr. Church's research focuses on integrating biosystems modeling with high-throughput data for haplotypes, RNA arrays, proteomics, and metabolites.
