Biography

Philip C. Cooley, Fellow in bioinformatics and high-performance computing, appointed March 2008, is a principal scientist and assistant director of bioinformatics. He has more than 35 years of experience developing computer models for the study of environmental health and disease transmission scenarios. Cooley has been extensively involved in designing and implementing influenza transmission models for the study and management of pandemic flu. His current research includes an assessment of statistical methods for biomarker explorations as part of genome-wide-analysis studies, and he has developed a database of loci with known genetic properties. Cooley has authored or co-authored numerous reports, professional journal articles, and book chapters, and has reviewed for Science, The Journal of the American Medical Association, and the AIDS and Related Research Study Section for the National Institutes of Health. He is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and is on the editorial board of Computers and Human Behavior.
