About Paul Horton
Recently I'm particularly interested in a conference in Shenzhen, near BGI.
My publication list is usually the most up-to-date of my web pages.
I also more or less maintain this page as well.
Position at Tokyo University
I am a visiting associate professor at the Gradute School for Frontier Sciences, Tokyo University. Potential applicants are encouraged to contact me!
Some Ramblings About Myself
My research career begin with a Masters degree program in Prof. Minoru Kanehisa's lab, in Kyoto University. Following that, I returned to the US to study computational biology at UC Berkeley with Prof. Eugene Lawler and Prof. Dan Gusfield (at UC Davis). On the computional side my academic interests are in programming, algorithms, and application of machine learning. On the biology side I have a special interest in protein sub-cellular localization.
After finishing my PhD in Berkeley I did a two year post-doc in
Tsukuba, Japan and then had a three year break from research, in which
I worked as a software engineer for two start-up companies (one of
which, Eland, is still around),
learned a fair amount of Mandarin (in Taiwan) and visited many magical
places such as Black Rock City and Crater Lake.
Since I started at the Computational Biology Research Center
Since 2003 I have led the sequence analysis team at CBRC. Unfortunately, I am too lazy to continually update this section. However, hopefully the team page and my publications will give you some idea of what I am working on.
