Teaching

Course Director and Lecturer, Course and Workshop in Computational Biology. The National Center for Biotechnology Information, Bethesda, MD. Fall 1990. This one-semester course was given at NIH and featured lectures by a number of NCBI staff and some outside guest lecturers. I am in the process of posting excerpts on YouTube and you can view the first of these at http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=markbmd
Faculty Member, Short Course in Medical and Experimental Mammalian Genetics. The Johns Hopkins University and the Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine. July 1993-1999. The "short course" (as it is called) was started by Victor McKusick and is currently in its 48th year. There is a nice article about Victor in WIKIPEDIA. My 1997 lecture is found here.
Faculty Member, Molecular Biology in Clinical Oncology Workshop. American Association for Cancer Research, The Given Institute, Aspen, Colorado. July 1992-1994, 1996-1997 and 1999. This course was also taught in Beijing, Peoples Republic of China in October 1997.
Guest Faculty Member, Human Genome Analysis: From YAC to Gene, 16th Wellcome Trust Summer School, Guy’s and St. Thomas’s Medical and Dental School, London, U.K., July 1996.
Current Topics in Genome Analysis (co-directed with Dr. Eric Green), National Institutes of Health, January-April, 1996; September-December, 1997, January-April 1999. My 1997 lecture is found here.

Trainees

Graduate Students

Todd Lowe (NCBI, 1993-1994) Todd was not formally a student of mine but rather spending some time in between college and graduate school doing research. He worked with me and Carolyn Tolstoshev on the EST database (dbEST) and designed and programmed the first automated system for EST annotation by homology search. Our joint paper is one of my most highly-cited works. (current position: Assistant Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of California, Santa Cruz)
