Bio

Andrew is a Professor at the Scripps Research Institute in the Department of Integrative, Structural and Computational Biology (ISCB). His research focuses on building and applying bioinformatics infrastructure for biomedical discovery. His research has a particular emphasis on leveraging crowdsourcing for genetics and genomics. Representative projects include the Gene Wiki, BioGPS, MyGene.Info, and Mark2Cure, each of which engages the crowd to help organize biomedical knowledge. These resources are collectively used millions of times every month by members of the research community, by students, and by the general public.

Crowdsourcing for algorithm optimization and improvement

by Andrew Su | Apr 13, 2015 | crowdsourcing, topcoder

Crowdsourcing is clearly a theme in our lab, but one flavor of crowdsourcing that we hadn’t experimented with extensively is the use of prize-based contests. Sites like TopCoder, Innocentive, and Kaggle have shown that contests can be a...

TEDx talk on Citizen Science for Biology

by Andrew Su | Nov 20, 2014 | BioThings, citizen science, mark2cure, presentation

Earlier this year, Syd Peterson invited me to give a talk at TEDxClaremontColleges. When Syd told me that the theme was “Unexpected Narratives”, I wondered how my lab’s research could possibly fit. To me, it felt like an...
