Background

Joel Bader, Ph.D., is an associate professor of biomedical engineering and computer science. He also serves as interim director to the High Throughput Biology Center in the Institute for Basic Biomedical Sciences. He holds faculty positions in the Institute for Computational Medicine and the Institute for Genetic Medicine.

Dr. Bader received his bachelor’s degree in biochemistry from Lehigh University and Ph.D. in theoretical chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship in theoretical chemistry from Columbia University and worked as director of bioinformatics at the CuraGen Corporation before joining the Johns Hopkins faculty in 2003.

A physicist and mathematician with a strong interest in genomics and proteomics, Dr. Bader is collaborating with his colleagues on interpreting the complex map of gene-gene interactions in yeast. His group has worked extensively on networks of protein-protein interactions in yeast and fruit flies.

He also serves on the editorial board of PLoS Computational Biology, PLoS ONE, Plant Cell and the American Journal of Pharmacogenomics.
