| Dr. Klaus Früh received his Ph.D. from the
University of Heidelberg in 1990 for work on malaria vaccine development.
From 1991 to 1994 he was a postdoctoral scientist in the Department
of Immunology at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, CA.
During this time he studied the cell biology of antigen presentation
by the major histocompatibility complex. In 1994 he joined the R.
W. Johnson Pharmaceutical Research Institute where he began his research
on viral immune escape mechanisms and where he directed the antiviral
pharmaceutical research program. At R.W.J. he developed a functional
genomics-based approach, or Virogenomics, to antiviral drug target
discovery. He joined the Vaccine
and Gene Therapy Institute as Associate Professor in 2000 and
became the Director of the OHSU Gene Microarray Shared Resource. |

Chris Harrington, Ph.D., Director, AMC
Tel: 503 418-2737
Email: harringc@ohsu.edu
| Dr. Harrington is Director of the Affymetrix Microarray
Core, a unit of the Gene Microarray Shared Resource (GMSR) at OHSU.
Dr. Harrington has worked in the DNA microarray field for the past
4 years. She was employed at Affymetrix from 1997 through October,
2000, as a Senior Staff Scientist and Manager of the Scientific Liaison
Group. In this capacity she was involved in the development of the
GeneChip array expression profiling application and was responsible
for the direction of the Affymetrix Academic User Center, a program
of research collaborations with academic investigators. Prior to
her position at Affymetrix, Dr. Harrington worked in the field of
molecular neurobiology, most recently as a Research Officer at the
Garvan Institute for Medical Research, Sydney, Australia, and prior
to that as a Principal Research Fellow in the Laboratory for Molecular
Pharmacology, University College, London, United Kingdom. |

Robert Searles, Ph.D., Technical
Director, SMC IMC
Tel: 503 418-2736
Email: searlesr@ohsu.edu
| Dr. Searles manages both the Spotted Microarray
Core and the Illumina Microarray Core of the Gene microarray Shared
Resource and holds the rank of Staff Scientist II at the Oregon Regional
Primate
Research
Center
(ORPRC).
In addition to overseeing the SMC and IMC, he has also been involved
in the specification and procurement of computational resources for
the
GMSR. Dr. Searles previously worked for the ORPRC as a bioinformaticist
and designed software to assist pedigree determination as part of
the rhesus macaque genome mapping project. Prior to this, he studied
viral genomics, collaborating on the sequencing and phylogenetic
analysis of a rhesus macaque gamma-2 herpesvirus closely related
to the human Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus. |
