Stephen R Piccolo
Summary
He earned a B.S. degree in Management Information Systems from BYU in 2001 and then worked as a software engineer for five years at Intel Corporation in Chandler, Arizona. In 2011, he received a PhD in Biomedical Informatics from the University of Utah (advised by Dr. Lewis J. Frey). From 2011-2014, he was postdoctoral researcher jointly at the University of Utah (Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, advised by Dr. Andrea H. Bild) and Boston University School of Medicine (Division of Computational Biomedicine, advised by Dr. W. Evan Johnson). He teaches classes in biology and bioinformatics.
The Piccolo lab's overarching goal is to use advanced computational approaches to act on large and complex data sets in an interdisciplinary approach. As such, the lab integrates knowledge and techniques across biology, computer science, medicine, and statistics using "dry lab biology'' to take advantage of massive, publicly available databases.
