Takis Benos' research focuses on the study of gene regulation at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional level and the evolution of gene regulatory networks. With undergraduate studies in mathematics, he was later attracted to molecular biology. He earned a PhD degree for his work on the molecular cloning and phylogenetic analysis of alcohol dehydrogenase genes in Diptera. As a post-doc, he worked on the analysis and annotation of the Drosophila melanogaster genome with Michael Ashburner (at EMBL-EBI in Cambridge, U.K.); and the development of probabilistic algorithms for modelling protein-DNA interactions with Gary Stormo (at Washington University in St. Louis). In 2002 he joined University of Pittsburgh and he is currently Assistant Professor of Computational Biology, while he holds joint appointments at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute (UPCI) and the Department of Biomedical Informatics, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. | Home page
