Organizing Committee

Dr. Munson heads the Mathematical and Statistical Computing Laboratory within the Division of Computational Bioscience, Center for Information Technology, at the National Institutes of Health. His Lab pursues a research mission with emphasis in mathematical physics, mathematical modeling, statistics and bioinformatics. The Lab also serves as a resource for the NIH Intramural Research Program.

Dr. Munson's group has led the development and application of statistical and computational methods to the analysis of microarray-based experiments. His Lab has developed several software packages including the MSCL Analyst's Toolbox for the analysis of microarray data and a high-throughput analysis pipeline (A-SCAN) for Affymetrix-based array experiments.

Dr. Munson received his bachelor's degree from St. Olaf College, master's from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and PhD in mathematical statistics from The American University. He has authored more than 150 publications on the application of statistical methodology and mathematical modeling to problems in endocrinology, pharmacology, oncology, protein structure prediction and bioinformatics.
