Research Interests

Data Coordination and Standardization: I have been/am a co-investigator on several data coordination center projects including the Human Microbiome Project Data Coordination Center, the Neuroscience Multi-Omic (NeMO) Archive, and the Common Fund Data Ecosystem Coordinating Center. For these projects I have worked to enhance the FAIRness of data through the appliation of community standards for data analysis and metadata capture.

Ontology Development: I am the PI of the Evidence Ontology. I am a co-investigator on the Ontology for Microbial Phenotypes. I have been part of the Gene Ontology Consortium for nearly 20 yars working in areas of term developoment related to prokaryotic biology. The use of ontologies and controlled vocabularies for the capture of information vastly increases its reusability and interoperability.

Outreach: I organize and run several STEM events to K-12 schools/programs each year. These are focused primarily at middle and high school students with a particular focus on the west Baltimore community.

Training: I run a professional development workshop program that includes multiple different workshops focused on aspects of bioinformatics including genomics, transcriptomics, metagenomics, comparative genomics, and programming.

 

Awards and Affiliations

I was named one of Maryland's Top 100 Women by the Daily Record in 2014

I received the Founders Week Public Servant of the Year award, UMB 2019

Community Service

I am involved in multiple outreach events to local K-12 students including the CURE Scholars program and the Maryland Microbiome Project.
