Gary D. Stormo Symposium on Computational Biology - Dr. Sean Eddy

The Department of Genetics presents the Gary D. Stormo Symposium on Computational Biology! This event celebrates Dr. Gary D. Stormo and his achievements as a pioneer in computational biology, as well as his legacy as an inspiring mentor and educator. His colleagues, collaborators, and former trainees will speak on Dr. Stormo’s accomplishments in computational biology, current developments in the field, and on the history of the Computational Biology Ph.D. program at Washington University in St. Louis. About Sean Eddy: Dr. Eddy is the Ellmore C. Patterson Professor and Chair of the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard University, and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Colorado, Boulder, working in the lab of Dr. Larry Gold. He then completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, UK. In 1995 Dr. Eddy joined the Department of Genetics at Washington University in St. Louis, where he was the Alvin Goldfarb Distinguished Professor of Computational Biology. While at Washington University, Dr. Eddy helped establish the Computational Biology program. In 2022, Dr. Eddy was elected a Fellow of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB). His lab focuses on computational methods for biological sequence analysis, especially methods to identify evolutionary relationships between protein and RNA sequences.
