Thanks... this should come in handy in my computational research in systems biology

Out of professional curiosity, what is the focus of your research? (I'm a postdoc statistician at the Ottawa Institute of Systems Biology.)

Not completely defined at the moment since I'm a 1st year PhD student at NYU, and currently doing rotations. It'll be something like comparative genomics/regulatory networks to study evolution of bacteria or perhaps communities of bacteria.

Then you may be interested in the research of Michael I. Jordan. (The computational biology link will probably be the most useful to you, but as you can see from the diversity of applications, he's quite the generalist.)

AWesome, thanks!
