Area of Expertise
Computational Biology
Proteomics
Current Position
Senior Research Scientist
Degree
M.S., Computer Science and Engineering, University of Washington
Ph.D., Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Harvard University
Research Interests
Dr. Keller is interested in modeling biological systems to gain insight.
While studying the regulation of gene transcription, he modeled the behavior of synthetic genetic
circuits to identify those with multiple stable states of gene expression. A current aim is to
apply similar models to biological networks inferred from diverse types of data. Dr. Keller has
also been involved in developing algorithms to facilitate high throughput shotgun proteomics.
He employed machine learning and statistical methods to identify confident peptide assignments
to tandem mass spectra, and from those assignments, derive likely sample proteins.
