Biography

Thomas R. Slezak received the B.S. degree in computer science from the University of San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, in 1975 and the M.S. degree in computer science from the University of California, Davis, in 1977.
He leads the Bioinformatics group for the Chemical and Biological National Security Program at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Livermore, CA. His LLNL responsibilities have included leading the LLNL and Joint Genome Institute bioinformatics teams for the Human Genome Program, establishing the bioinformatics effort at LLNL's Biology and Biotechnology Research Program, and running an LLNL-wide Unix support team. He is a Member of the Editorial Board of Briefings in Bioinformatics, Henry Stewart. His research interests include applying whole-genome analysis techniques to pathogens and meta-data techniques to reduce the cost of bioinformatics development.
Mr. Slezak is the chair of the U.S. Rice Genome Sequencing Project advisory committee and was a member of the Mouse Genome Informatics advisory board from 1997 to 1999.
