Research Interests:
Bioinformatics, computational biology
Dr. Ellis focuses on developing bioinformatics tools that
support the work of life science colleagues. With biochemist
Larry Wackett, Dr. Ellis has developed an innovative microbial
biotechnology database on the World Wide Web: The
University of Minnesota Biocatalysis/Biodegradation Database.
She develops bioinformatic databases and selects target for
vertebrate functional
genomics with developmental biologists Stephen Ekker
and Scott Fahrenkrug.
Dr. Ellis is member of the Bioinformatics,
Health Informatics,
Microbial
Engineering, and Microbiology,
Immunology, and Cancer Biology (MICaB) graduate programs,
coordinates the Bioinformatics
Journal Club and the Health
Informatics Seminar, teaches a Biocatalysis
and Biodegradation course completely over the Internet
for Microbial Engineering, and teaches a Protein
Sequence Analysis course in the MICaB graduate program.
