Richard Scheuermann
Richard H. Scheuermann is Director of Informatics, Director of JCVI’s La Jolla Campus and an adjunct professor of pathology at U.C. San Diego. After completing his doctoral research, he accepted an independent research position at the Basel Institute for Immunology in Basel, Switzerland. In 1992, he joined the faculty in the Department of Pathology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas where he rose to the rank of Professor with tenure. In 2001, he made a career shift into the discipline of bioinformatics, initiated with a sabbatical year at the San Diego Supercomputer Center. In 2012, Dr. Scheuermann moved to San Diego to become the Director of Informatics at JCVI, and in 2016 was promoted to Director of the La Jolla Campus.
Dr. Scheuermann has applied his deep knowledge in molecular immunology and infectious disease toward the development of novel computational data mining methods and knowledge representation approaches, including the development of biomedical ontologies and their use in data mining, novel methods for the analysis of gene expression, protein network and flow cytometry data, and novel comparative genomics methods. These computational methods have been made available through several public database and analysis resources, including the Influenza Research Database (IRD), the Virus Pathogen Resource (ViPR), and the Immunology Database and Analysis Portal (ImmPort) supported by the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
He received a BS in Life Sciences from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a PhD in Molecular Biology from the University of California, Berkeley.
