About Me
I’m a computational biologist interested protein structure prediction and ligand docking. I take great pleasure from building and using computational tools and models for biological research. My focus at the Su Lab is composed a range of different and diverse projects. I’m a developer primarily responsible for the programs that connect us with the Gene Wiki project on Wikipedia. Since I joined the lab in June 2012, I’ve contributed to or developed the following projects:
- ProteinBoxBot: a Wikipedia bot that automatically updates protein infoboxes across the nearly 10,500 gene pages on the Gene Wiki.
- The Cure: an online gene game to extract player knowledge to help make a more informed genomics-driven predictor for breast cancer prognosis
- JS Decision Tree Viewer: an simple SVG based decision tree viewer to show a visually intuitive decision tree visualization. Built with D3
