Gary Stormo, Professor

Gary Stormo is the Joseph Erlanger Professor in the Department of Genetics and the Center for Genome Sciences and Systems Biology at Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis. He received his B.S. degree in biology from the California Institute of Technology and his Ph.D. in molecular biology from the University of Colorado at Boulder. He remained at the University of Colorado as a faculty member in the Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology until joining the faculty at WUSM in 1999. Beginning with his graduate thesis work he has combined experimental and computational approaches to understanding gene regulation. Most of that work has focused on identifying, modeling and predicting regulatory sites in DNA and RNA and their contributions to regulatory networks that control gene expression in vivo.
