HPC Advisory Committee Chair
Associate Director, Bioinformatics at Genome Center

High-throughput technologies are transforming biology, medicine, agriculture, and related fields. Biology is now incredibly data-rich and requires computers to organize and analyze the data. Korf’s research mixes -omic technologies and information technology to make new discoveries in genome structure and function. His lab is highly collaborative, and always welcomes potential research partners. Current interests include milk biology, gene prediction, genome assembly, sequence alignment, DNA-protein interactions, intron function, epigenetics, and more.
