We are looking to hire Postdoctoral Fellows at the Computational Biology Branch of NCBI. Other research postions (programmer analysts or phd students) are also available. Email me for details.
| Short Biography |
| Zhiyong Lu is a Staff Scientist at the National Center for Biotechnology Information, where he joined right after earning a PhD in Bioinformatics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. His current research has focused on the problems of helping researchers find the specific publications that are relevant to their work, and having found those documents, then making that (sometimes very large) body of text manageable for them. He has published (some are searchable in PubMed) on these subjects as well as on matters related to automatically predicting protein subcellular localization. His CV is online.
