Travis Wheeler
Travis is an Assosciate Professor in the Pharmacy Practice & Science Department at the University of Arizona. He’s been developing computational methods for addressing biological questions and data for more than 25 years, yet is regularly reminded by the talented folks in his lab that there is an awful lot he doesn’t know. Historically, his research has revolved around genomics data (sequence alignment, database search, phylogeny inferemce, annotation, …). These days, he also gets excited about projects in the domains of virtual drug discovery and computer vision for animal tracking and behavior classification.
