Dave Clements

I work for the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent) and since September 2007 I run the GMOD Help Desk. I telecommute from the Phillips Lab in the Center for Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (CEEB) at the University of Oregon. See the GMOD Help Desk page for an explanation of what I do for the GMOD project.

Background

My background is in computer science. I have been working in biological databases since 2000.

Prior to working for NESCent on GMOD I worked as the database manager at the European Renal Genome project (EuReGene), as a member of the Edinburgh Mouse Atlas Project (EMAP). This project studied kidney development and disease. My work focused on gene expression patterns, and anatomy ontologies.

Prior to EuReGene I worked for ZFIN, the zebrafish model organism database at the University of Oregon for 5 years as a database administrator and software engineer.

My pre-bioinformatics career included
