Dr. Romero joined the field of Bioinformatics in 1996, while at Washington State University. During his doctoral studies, he developed the first successful predictors of protein intrinsic disorder from amino acid sequence. As a postdoctoral fellow at SRI International, in Menlo Park, CA, he worked on the development and analysis of pathway-genome databases comprising the BioCyc resource (http://biocyc.org). At SRI International he was involved in the development of pathway-genome databases for several organisms, including HumanCyc, which contain the first version of the human metabolic network predicted entirely from the human genome. Dr. Romero is a member of the BioPathways Consortium, and was Co-chair of the session on Genomes, Pathways and Interactions Bioinformatics at the Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB) for the years 2001, 2002, and 2003. He recently joined the Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics at IUPUI as a visiting scientist, previous to joining the School of Informatics starting in the Fall of 2004. His research interests include the computational analyses of intrinsic disorder in proteins as related to function and evolution, and the computational management and analysis of metabolomics data.
