I work in the Your Lab at University of Louisville. I learned about OpenWetWare from mailing list by Bioinformatics.org, and I've joined because I might be able to contribute a bit to this open community.

Research interests
I was initially trained as a paleontologist with a BSc and an MSc degree. My specialty in this field was vertebrate paleontology. Then I changed my major to molecular biology with a PhD degree. At the time I found there was a chance to pick up some bioinformatics interests and started publishing on RNA (ribozymes) structure, function and phylogenetics implications. In the meantime, I made a library of human microRNAs in a Lentivrirus vector and investigated the genetic linkage of schizophrenia. Yes, I am a wonderer always not knowing what I am doing.

Well, my present interests are:
 * 1) Cancer related genes and regulatory networks using whatever technology, arrays, deep sequencing, and other high throughput and low throughput techniques.
 * 2) Informatics tool development and knowledge discovery for any field, biased towards biomedical usage as the starting point.
 * 3) Genetic manipulation to gain control of gene expression and produce enzymes and pharmaceutical chemicals using any system, eukaryotic, prokaryotic, archean or in vitro, ex vivo ....
