Responsibilities

Dr. Pouliot is the Lane Library Bioresearch Informationist [program description]. He is responsible for:

Promoting and enhancing the use of biomolecular software and database systems by life sciences laboratory researchers.
Promoting interdisciplinary research through highly cross-referenced and summarized information sources.
Helping with the bioinformatics aspects of grant writing (critical reading, suggestions).
Maintaining the Bioresearch Portal.
Maintaining the content searched by Lane's Bioresearch Metasearch Engine.

Research Interests

Development of informatics systems to enhance the information content and usability of biological and chemical data, e.g.:

A tool to guide users in the optimal selection of a database or software program from the vast collection currently available.
Anything having to do with knowledge management: indexing, ontologies, search techniques.

Background

Prior to joining the Lane Library, Dr. Pouliot provided bioinformatics consulting to organizations such as SRI International and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Previously, he was Director of Informatics at Kalypsys Inc., a drug discovery startup of the Novartis Genome Research Foundation.

Between 1999 and 2001, he was Director of Bioinformatics Knowledge Engineering at DoubleTwist, where he originated the application of automated research agents for biocomputational analysis, ultimately used by 25,000 researchers worldwide. He has also held senior bioinformatics positions in genomics companies such as Progenitor and Sequana Therapeutics, as well as at life sciences software company Molecular Simulations, now Accelrys Inc.
