Mark Bender Gerstein is an American scientist working in bioinformatics. As of 2009[update], he is co-director of the Yale Computational Biology and Bioinformatics program, and Albert L. Williams Professor of Biomedical Informatics, Professor of Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry and Professor of Computer Science at Yale University.[19]
Education
After graduating from Harvard College summa cum laude with an Bachelor of Arts in Physics in 1989, Gerstein did a PhD co-supervised by Ruth Lynden-Bell[3] at the University of Cambridge and Cyrus Chothia at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology on conformational change in proteins, graduating in 1993.[20] He then went on to postdoctoral research in bioinformatics at Stanford University from 1993-1996 supervised by Nobel-laureate Michael Levitt.
Research
Gerstein does research in the field of bioinformatics[1][21][22][23][24][25][26] This involves applying a range of computational approaches to problems in molecular biology, including data mining and machine learning, molecular simulation, and database design. His research group has a number of foci including annotating the human genome,[27] personal genomics, cancer genomics, building tools in support of genome technologies (such as next-generation sequencing), analyzing molecular networks, and simulating macromolecular motions. Notable databases and tools that the group has developed include the Database of Macromolecular Motions,[11][12] which categorizes macromolecular conformational change; tYNA,[28] which helps analyze molecular networks; PubNet,[29] which analyzes publication networks; PeakSeq,[30] which identifies regions in the genome bound by particular transcription factors; and CNVnator,[31] which categorizes block variants in the genome. Gerstein has also written extensively on how general issues in data science impact on genomics—in particular, in relation to privacy[32] and to structuring scientific communication.[14]
Gerstein's work has been published in peer reviewed scientific journals[1][33][34][35][36][37] and non-scientific publications in more popular forums.[38] His work has been highly cited, with an H greater than 100.[1] He serves on a number of editorial and advisory boards, including those of PLoS Computational Biology, Genome Research, Genome Biology, and Molecular Systems Biology.
Awards and honors
In addition to a W. M. Keck Foundation Distinguished Young Scholars award, Gerstein has received awards from the US Navy, IBM, Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, and the Donaghue Foundation.[citation needed] He is a Fellow of the AAAS.[17] Other awards include a Herchel-Smith Scholarship supporting his doctoral work at Emmanuel College, Cambridge and a Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship. He is a contributor to a number of scientific consortia including ENCODE,[39] modENCODE,[40][41][42] 1000 Genomes Project, Brainspan,[citation needed] and DOE Kbase.[citation needed] He was made a Fellow of the International Society for Computational Biology in 2015.[18]
