Dr. Richard Allen White III is a computational and synthetic molecular virologist who unravels the ‘virosphere,’ the totality of viruses, and their biosphere interactions. He has a toolkit of knowledge that includes multi-omics (measuring DNA/RNA with NextGen Sequencing, protein/lipids/metabolites with Mass Spectrometry), computational methods, and synthetic biology elucidate the virosphere. The bedrock of his work […]

Damien Patrick Williams is an assistant professor in Philosophy and Data Science at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. A Ph.D. in Science, Technology, and Society, from Virginia Tech in the United States, Damien researches how technologies such as algorithms, machine intelligence, and biotechnologies are impacted by the values, knowledge systems, philosophical explorations, social […]

I am interested in the interface of morphological and genetic evolution, developing creative computational and statistical methods to studying complex regions of the genome and how these relate to the diversity of structure and function observed across the Tree of Life. I received my dual BS in Bioinformatics and Biology from Loyola University Chicago. After […]
