Dr Alistair Rust

I am a Senior Research Scientist in the Shmulevich Lab at the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle, USA.

My principal area of research is in the prediction of transcription factor binding sites in DNA sequences. This incorporates a broad spectrum of disciplines including:

• Algorithm design and evaluation.
• Parameter optimization.
• Integration/fusion of genomic and biological data from multiple, distributed sources.
• Genome annotation and visualization.
• Effective strategies for running disparate computational analyses on high-performance compute clusters.
• Integration of software tools into clean, biologist-friendly websites.
