Andrew Uzilov Graduate Student since September 2007 Bioinformatics PhD Program University of California, Santa Cruz

Background

I graduated from the University of Rochester (B.S. Biochemistry, B.A. Computer Science, both 2005), where I worked for Dave Mathews as an undergraduate. Then I spent two years bumming around Ian Holmes' lab at UC Berkeley.
