Kevin G. Becker, Ph.D., Staff Scientist Gene Expression and Genomics Unit |
![]() Research Interests: The Gene Expression and Genomics Unit is involved in the design, assembly, application, and analysis of DNA microarrays and related gene expression systems. Three main areas of research include; a) applications in gene expression; b) technology development in array based assays; and c) genomic bioinformatic applications that integrate genetic and gene expression studies with complex biological systems. |
Recent gene expression studies using microarrays have included aging and caloric restriction, drug abuse, T cell induction, Werner's syndrome; among others. |
Bioinformatic development and applications include the development of BBID-relational database of biological pathways (http://bbid.grc.nia.nih.gov/), the Genetic Association Database (http://geneticassociationdb.nih.gov), a literature mining tool, PubMatrix (http://pubmatrix.grc.nia.nih.gov), as well as the development of an Alzheimer's brain gene expression database. |
