Expression Analysis Adds Statistical Expert
Research Triangle Park, N.C. (Aug. 26, 2002)- Expression Analysis (EA), a full-service microarray genetics testing and analysis organization, has strengthened its statistical analysis capabilities with the addition of Wendell Jones, Ph.D., a senior research statistician.
Jones supports the company's bioinformatics and analysis division, providing clients with customized statistical planning and analysis to help them leverage gene expression data for their research, discovery, and drug development and approval processes. Developing statistical tools and algorithms, he provides experimental guidance and design to ensure that EA's clients obtain the most statistically relevant data possible for their experiments.
"Because new microarray technology creates a tremendous amount of data and our list of clients is growing rapidly, we needed someone with the statistical expertise to design and implement data analysis strategies that free our clients to focus on the results of their expression studies," said Steven Casey, EA's chief operating officer and co-founder. "Dr. Jones can provide insights on computational approaches and statistical interpretations of the data to help our clients make the most of this technology and their experiments."
"Dr. Jones is the perfect fit for our hands-on approach to helping clients get the most out of their data," added Richard Cohn, Ph.D., EA's director of statistical sciences. "He has an understanding of the issues and the skills to interact with clients on a consultative basis so they understand and are comfortable with the data we generate and analyze for them."
Jones has more than 14 years experience performing research and statistical analysis in leading technology companies. He previously worked as a senior software reliability engineer for IBM. Before that, he was the manager of research and technology at Nortel Networks. He holds a Ph.D. in mathematical sciences from Clemson University and has extensive skills in probability, statistics and statistical methodologies in technology-related reliability tests.
