Research Interests and Accomplishments

Timothy B. Stockwell is a Assistant Professor at the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI).  Mr. Stockwell is a co-investigator for sequencing of the Conus consors genome, and leads the development of software for analyzing data for NHLBI's DNA Resequencing and Genotyping Service.  He joined JCVI in 2002 during its startup, hiring bioinformatics software staff, and now manages a team of bioinformatics and software engineers.  His team designs, develops, and operates software and databases supporting several applications including:  variation detection from PCR resequencing; analysis of metagenomic communities based on rRNA sequences; analysis, management and presentation of diploid human genome sequence data; and evaluation and assessment of next generation genomic technologies.

Previously, as Senior Manager and later Director of Software Engineering at Celera Genomics, he managed the development and deployment of computational pipelines supporting mammalian transcriptome sequence analysis used for downstream annotation of whole genomes, bacterial and fungal whole genome sequencing projects, and an automated system to determine the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) profile for family references, personal effects, and recovered human remains of the victims of the World Trade Center attack.

He earned a B.S. degree in Computer and Systems Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
