Will Dampier’s Summary
My current work focuses on the analysis of microarray data. I'm working to create a semi-automated way to annotate microarray samples based on descriptions in GEO and ArrayAssist. This will allow for a more automated annotation of the expression levels of genes across different samples. Some of my previous published work includes prediction of HIV-1 response to therapy, supervised microarray classification, evolutionary analysis of collagen proteins and an analysis of H. pylori effect on signaling pathways.
