Dr. Smith received his PhD
in Nuclear Physcis from the University of Colorado.
Currently is Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Research Professor
of Pharmacology, and Director of the Biomolecular Engineering
Research Center at Boston University.
One of the founders of the field of bioinformatics, his research
interests encompass the semantic and syntactic structure of
genetic information in biomolecular sequences, structures, and
evolution.
Thus, his research bridges between the information in genome
and protein sequence and the structure and function of proteins
and other biomolecules.
He is also involved in the development of database structures
that can facilitate the analysis and sequencing of genomes.
Among his specific accomplishments is the identification of
an anti-oncogen Rb binding site. |
