 John
C. Wooley, University of California San Diego, Mail Code 0043,
9500 Gilman Drive,
La Jolla CA 92093-0043 (email: jwooley@ucsd.edu). Dr. Wooley is
Associate Vice Chancellor for Research at the University of California
San Diego, an adjunct Professor in Pharmacology, and in Chemistry
and Biochemistry, and a Strategic Advisor and Senior Fellow of
the San Diego Supercomputer Center. He received his Ph.D. degree
in 1975 at The University of Chicago, working with Al Crewe and
Robert Uretz in biological physics. Dr. Wooley created the first
programs within the US federal government for funding research
in bioinformatics and in computational biology, and has been involved
in strengthening the interface between computing and biology for
more than a decade. For the new UCSD California Institute for
Telecommunication and Information Technology [Cal-(IT)2], Dr.
Wooley directs the biology and biomedical layer or applications
component, termed Digitally-enabled Genomic Medicine (DeGeM),
a step in delivering personalized medicine in a wireless clinical
setting. His current research involves bioinformatics and structural
genomics, while his principle objectives at UCSD are to stimulate
new research initiatives for large scale, multidisciplinary challenges.
He also collaborates in developing scientific applications of
information technology and high performance computing; creating
industry-university collaborations; expanding applied life science
opportunities, notably around drug discovery; establishing a biotechnology
and pharmacology science park on UCSD's health sciences campus
zone.
