David Fenyö is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and the Center for Health Informatics and Bioinformatics at New York University Langone Medical Center, and Head of the Computational Proteomics Laboratory. Since receiving his Ph.D. in physics from Uppsala University in Sweden in 1991, he has been co-founder and President of ProteoMetrics – a bioinformatics startup, Director of Proteomics at Genomic Solutions, Staff Scientist at GE Healthcare and Amersham Biosciences, and Senior Research Associate at The Rockefeller University. Dr. Fenyö has over 20 years of experience with all aspects of proteomic and mass spectrometric data analysis in both academia and industry. During these years, he has laid a statistical foundation for testing the significance of protein identification results, developed search engines that identify proteins by matching mass spectrometric and sequence data, and built commercial software packages for fully automatic high-throughput identification and quantitation of proteins. He has more than 80 scientific publications in these areas.
Dr. Fenyö’s research goal is detailed understanding of the dynamics of cellular processes. He applies mathematical, statistical and computational methods to experimental design optimization, quantitative data analysis, and biological systems modeling. The focus of his research is proteomic data analysis: he develops methods and databases for protein identification, characterization and quantitation using mass spectrometry-based technologies.
Dr. Fenyo also publishes proteomics news on his twitter account @CompProteomics.
