Biographies
Research Interests and Accomplishments
Johannes Goll is a Senior Bioinformatics Engineer in the Informatics Department at the J. Craig Venter Institute. His areas of interest are high-performance data mining and web-based visualization solutions for genomic data.
He conceptualized and implemented numerous high-profile software projects including JCVI Metagenomics Reports, an open source tool that enables real time analysis of terabyte volumes of metagenomic data.
He received a Bachelor of Science (Hons) degree in Bioengineering (Diplom Ingenieur FH) from the Weihenstephan University of Applied Sciences, Munich, Germany. As part of his thesis, he worked at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology on a comparative analysis of protein interaction networks of pathogenic bacteria.
Being awarded a scholarship from the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research, he spent six months as a Bioinformatics Trainee with Avesthagen, in Bangalore, India helping to implement an online database for analyzing diatom ESTs.
Currently, he is working towards his Master of Science degree in Applied Statistics through the distance learning program at Texas A&M University, College Station.
