Biography
Pierre Baldi is a Distinguished Professor of computer science at the University of California, Irvine and the director of its Institute for Genomics and Bioinformatics.
Dr. Baldi's group works at the intersection of biological and computer sciences, using probabilistic/machine learning techniques to address biological problems and mine large data sets produced by massive data acquisition technologies, such as genome sequencing, high-throughput drug screening, and DNA microarrays. Current projects include the prediction of protein secondary and tertiary structure, the study of DNA structure in relation to several biological processes (protein binding, gene regulation, triplet repeat expansion diseases), and the analysis of gene expression data. Dr. Baldi's group is building a suite of genomics and proteomics programs for the prediction of protein structure and function and the analysis of microarray data.
