Kael's Homely Page

I am a scientist and programmer, at the University of California, San Francisco.

Working with Joe DeRisi and the DeRisi lab, I use computational approaches to discover novel viruses and explore biology using functional genomics.

In addition to my current work in computational biology, I am trained as a biophysicist and structural biologist. The first computational biology problem that I put on the web, in 1994, was my helical wheel Java applet. This is often my first exercise when I learn a new language (like 'helloworld'). Various versions are available under the BSD license. If you need a helical wheel diagram please visit my helical wheel page.

I also teach a Structural Biology course for the UC Berkeley Extension. I'm the father of an interesting teenage daughter - she also has a web page which badly needs updating.
