Red-R Development Team

Anup Parikh –

Anup received his B.S. in computer science from Truman State University and his Ph.D. from Baylor College of Medicine in Structural and Computational Biology & Molecular Biophysics. His graduate work focused on integration of genomic and transcriptomic data to infer gene function, model cellular pathways, and understand the evolution of transcriptional regulation. Throughout his doctoral and postdoctoral work, Anup initiated and developed several tools, including Red-R, to integrate and visualize high-throughput data and improve data accessibility. He is currently a Senior Field Bioinformatics Scientist at Life Technologies supporting bioinformatics anaysis for next generation sequencing on the SOLiD platform at numerous institutions.

Kyle Richard Covington –

I was raised in Tennessee and attended Austin Peay State University where I received a B.S. degree in Biology. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Translational Biology and Molecular medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX.

My interests are chaotic systems, plasticity, and cancer metastasis. I am currently studying the role of nucleosome remodeling complexes in the metastatic process in Breast Cancer in the laboratory of Suzanne A. W. Fuqua.

Anup and I met while body building. At a dinner party we were discussing how to solve the conflict between Israel and Palestine when Anup said

"There is this software called Orange. I'll bet we can make it run R and it would be really useful."

Then I said "What can I do to help with that?"

And Red-R was born...
