Jenhan Tao
- Bioinformatics PhD, 2018
Bioengineering, UC Berkeley, 2012
Jenhan is a PhD student in the Bioinformatics and Systems Biology program at UCSD. He's interested in utilizing computational technqiues to increase our capacity to understand complex biological problems such as cell signalling. This is Jenhan's second year working as an iGEM mentor. Previously Jenhan was involved in synthetic biology research as an iGEM team member at Boston University and as a research assistant at UC Berkeley, the BioFAB, and Boston University.
Justin Huang
- Bioinformatics PhD, 2018
Biology,Mathematics University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, 2013
Justin Huang is a second year Bioinformatics PhD student at UC San Diego. Originally hailing from the great state of North Carolina, Justin completed his undergraduate studies with a BS in Biology and a BA in Mathematics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2013. Justin's research interests are in translational medicine, specifically in the role of translational medicine in cancer. Justin is also an avid sports fan, and an advocate for Asian American issues. You can follow him @huangger on Twitter.
Benjamin Kellman
- Bioinformatics PhD, 2018
Biology, University of Rochester, 2012
My name is Benjamin Kellman. I am a PhD student at the University of California at San Diego studying Bioinformatics and Systems Biology. My work uses existing formalisms in mathematics and computer science to consolidate the spurious information of experimental biology to a more codified rule set; many such reductions have already been made. I hope to apply fundamental biological axioms formalism to increase the power of my biological predictions.
Andreas Dräger
- Bioinformatics PhD, 2018
Bioengineering, UC Berkeley, 2012
Andreas Dräger works as an independent research scholar in the Systems Biology Research Group at UCSD. He studied bioinformatics at the Martin Luther University in Halle and worked as an intern at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics, Berlin, and at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He did his PhD at the Center for Bioinformatics in Tübingen and worked as visiting research student at Keio University in Yokohama. The Faculty of Science (University of Tuebingen) awarded his PhD thesis as the most outstanding work of 2011 and granted him a funding for an own graduate student.
