Techniques Stephen Parker Uses:
My scientific training (see below) is routinely used to devise approaches that will allow for the accurate resolution of problems. I am a very quantitatively-minded person, and employ this mindset to most any decision I have to make or problem I need to solve.
Stephen Parker's Problem Solving Skills:
- Next generation high-throughput DNA, RNA, ChIP, DNase seq analysis
- Biological research
- Scientific study design and research
- Quantitative analysis
- Computer programming
- Mentoring and teaching
- Leading scientific consortia
Stephen Parker's Problem Solving Experience:
- - I integrated DNA structural information with evolutionary conservation theory to implement a novel algorithm that detects patterns of DNA structural constraint in a multi-species sequence alignment
- I published a paper that is one of the first to focus on non-coding mutations in cancer genomes by developing and implementing novel analysis programs and approaches
- I have integrated high-dimensional data sets using a high-performance compute cluster to annotate the regulatory landscape of human pancreatic islets and found that these annotations help explain type 2 diabetes susceptibility loci
- I have co-authored over 20 scientific papers, and been awarded research funding for my study proposals
