His focus for the YCGA is providing bioinformatics support to Yale (and non-Yale) investigators who utilize YCGA’s next-generation sequencing facility. Prior to his role at Yale, James was an R&D Fellow and Bioinformatics Director at 454 Life Sciences and CuraGen Corporation, and has been active in the bioinformatics field for the last 25 years.
