Vineet Bafna, PhD. Professor, Computer Science Univ. California, San Diego EBU3B#4218 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, CA 92093-0404, USA Email: vbafna@cs.ucsd.edu Phone: (858) 822-4978 FAX: (858) 534-7029 Office: EBU3b 4218 Research Teaching Other My research interest is Bioinformatics. Computational Proteomics (NCRR) Algorithms for Genetics (NSF) Genomics (NHGRI) Paper citations at Pubmed, and DBLP. Considering working with me, or applying to UCSD? Do read this first. Bioinformatics at CSE , and at UCSD I have the privilege of working with many collaborators, and excellent students. Online course material. CSE280A,B is for students who'd like to do research without learning some biology first. Prof. Ideker and I co-teach CSE283: functional genomics, on computational analysis of large biological data-sets. I teach a (senior level) undergraduate class on Biological data analysis . UCSD hosts a unique interdisciplinary PhD. program in bioinformatics, as well as an undergraduate major. Tools are as important as the science they support. Send your best work to RECOMB and ISMB. The discipline must be maturing, if the founders are writing autobiographical notes. In an earlier life, I worked at Celera, on the human genome project. James Shreeve wrote a book on it. A lot of gossip, a bit of science. Even earlier, I attended IITD. I guess that obligates a citation of Chetan Bhagat's book. It is funny.
