User Support Analysis Group Lead
Dr. Blow joined the JGI in 2009, and currently heads the User Support Analysis group. He received his Ph.D. from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and Cambridge University University in 2005, where he studied RNA editing and cancer genetics. Dr. Blow carried out postdoctoral work at LBNL, where he worked on computational and experimental approaches to study genome regulation in human and other vertebrate genomes. When he joined the JGI, he worked as a project scientist and then as a research scientist on projects to develop functional genomic technologies and to understand genome function in bacteria. Since 2016, he has been the lead of the User Support Analysis group. The group performs custom analysis and develops automated pipelines for analysis of resequencing, transcriptome, epigenome and other functional genomics datasets generated by JGI user science projects.
