Previously he co-founded 4 companies: ViSoft Inc., Protein Vision Inc., a company distributing independent films for free and most recently SciVee. Bourne is committed to maximizing the societal benefit derived from university research. He has published over 300 papers and 5 books. This implies algorithms, text mining, machine learning, metalanguages, biological databases, and visualization applied to problems in systems pharmacology, evolution, cell signaling, apoptosis, immunology and scientific dissemination. His research focuses on relevant biological and educational outcomes derived from computation and scholarly communication. He serves the national biomedical community through contributing ways to maximize the value (and hence accessibility) of scientific data.

Bourne's professional interests focus on service and research. Formally he was Associate Vice Chancellor for Innovation and Industry Alliances, a Professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of California San Diego, Associate Director of the RCSB Protein Data Bank and an Adjunct Professor at the Sanford Burnham Institute. Bourne is the Associate Director for Data Science (ADDS) at the National Institutes of Health. Information about his research activities is available at. He is interested in applied and applications-driven research in data management and analysis, big data, and database systems. Baru is on assignment from the San Diego Supercomputer Center, UC San Diego, where he is a Distinguished Scientist, Associate Director of Data Initiatives, and Director of the Center for Large-scale Data Systems Research. He co-chairs the federal inter-agency Big Data Senior Steering Group consisting of 18 federal R&D agencies, which helps coordinate agency activities in this area, as part of the White House Big Data R&D Initiative. He coordinates the BIGDATA research program at NSF and is also engaged in the Big Data Regional Innovation Hubs and Spokes initiative. Suzanne has previously worked for the Research Councils in India and the UAE and holds a master’s degree in Forensic Linguistics.ĭirectorate for Computer & information Science & EngineeringĬhaitan Baru is Senior Advisor for Data Science in the Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate at the National Science Foundation. The team is located in the British Embassy in Washington DC. The RCUK US team works primarily with US federal funders, on behalf of all seven UK Research Councils, to promote dialogue and create an environment that fosters research collaboration. Suzanne Austin has been Deputy Director of RCUK US since January 2013. He is co-founder of, and advisor to, Personalis, Inc, a Menlo Park based genetic diagnostics company. He is a peer reviewer for the NIH and the AHA as well as journals including Nature, the New England Journal of Medicine, the Lancet and the Journal of Clinical Investigation. He is a Principal Investigator of the Myocardial Applied Genomics Network (MAGnet), a member of the leadership group of the AHA Council on Functional Genomics, and a member of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academy of Sciences Roundtable on Translating Genomic-Based Research for Health. Dr Ashley is a recipient of the National Innovation Award from the American Heart Association (AHA) and a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director's New Innovator Award. The team extended the approach in 2011 to a family of four and now routinely apply genome sequencing to the diagnosis of patients at Stanford hospital. The paper published in the Lancet was the focus of over 300 news stories, became one of the most cited articles in clinical medicine that year, and is currently featured in the Genome Exhibition at the Smithsonian in DC. In 2010, he led the team that carried out the first clinical interpretation of a human genome. Euan’s research group is focused on the application of genomics to medicine. He is co-director of the Training Program in Myocardial Biology. He also directs the Stanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease and co-directs the Stanford Clinical Genomics Service.
