Eugene Kolker, PhD

Children's Title: Chief Data Officer

Academic Title: Head, Bioinformatics and High-throughput Analysis Lab, Seattle Children's Research Institute

Research Center: Center for Developmental Therapeutics

Overview

Research Description

Our work is on data-enabled science, predictive analytics, biomedical, bio- and health informatics, high-throughput analyses, and proteomics. We also developed and continue to expand MOPED (Model Organism Protein Expression Database) and SPIRE (Systematic Protein Investigative Research Environment), two web-based resources for exploring proteomics data, whether self-generated or publically available (for more details, please see Software and Datasets).
Research Focus: A substantial part of our research focuses on data-enabled science, biomedical and proteomics analyses for disease states (diabetes and cardiac), bioinformatics, statistical models, and software applications. In addition, our team's work in predictive analytics includes exploring factors that influence the health and care of our patients, strategic development and resource management of the hospital, the national levels of support for the sciences as well as economic modeling of Seattle.
