Research Interests
Data Coordination and Standardization:
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.
Prokaryotic sequence analysis: I'm the PI for the Analysis Engine project, previously funded by the NIGMS to provide analysis services for prokaryotic sequences. Services include single genome annotation, comparative genomics, and transcriptomics. Analysis tools are made available in a variety of ways to allow users to choose the approach most suited to them. Under this project we continue to develop the pipelines and tools to further meet users needs.
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.

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.
