Dr. Gordân is appointed jointly in the Duke Center for Genomic and Computational Biology and the Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics. She received her PhD in Computer Science in 2009 from Duke University, where she worked on DNA motif discovery algorithms. Dr. Gordân is particularly interested in the mechanisms by which transcription factors are recruited to their specific DNA sites, both in vitro and in vivo, and how this recruitment is affected by changes in the DNA or protein sequence.
Dr. Allen is Associate Professor of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics and Duke University. His research focuses on developing new statistical methods for identifying susceptibility loci involved in complex human disease. It involves a mix of genetics, statistics, and computer science and is motivated by the complexities of real data encountered in collaborative disease-gene mapping projects.
