Dr. Jake Chen is currently an assistant professor of informatics at Indiana University School of Informatics and an assistant professor of computer science at Purdue School of Science in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. For the past 10 years, he has been active in bioinformatics research and development in both Academia and the biotech industry, including technical and management experience at Affymetrix, Inc. and Myriad Proteomics, Inc. He is a board member of the Association of Chinese Bioinformaticians (http://www.acbix.org), an IEEE senior member, and members of the International Society of Computational Biology and ACM. He holds a PhD degree in computer science and engineering from the University of Minnesota at Twin Cities and a BS degree in molecular biology and biochemistry from Beijing University, China. His current research interest is an emerging field that he calls "bio- discovery informatics" (http://bio.informatics.iupui.edu), which integrates the data mining of system-scale biological knowledge with the development of large-scale data management and knowledge discovery tools
