Biography
Eric B. Dammer is a Bioinformatic Scientist who has worked in the Emory University Center for Neurodegenerative Disease since 2008. He currently maintains and automates proteomics analysis pipelines using the R language, specializing in coexpression analysis and integrative multi-omic systems biology. He has previously worked on the bench performing various biochemistry methods to identify and classify aggregation properties of proteins in neurodegeneration, to sort pure cell type nuclei from postmortem human tissue for downstream applications, and to image cells and tissues undergoing stress. Other interests include proteomics of post-translational modifications, including phosphorylation and ubiquitination, as well as histone modifications influencing epigenetics in neurodegeneration. As a graduate student at Georgia Tech beginning in 2005, Eric focused on molecular genetics of an orphan nuclear receptor involved in sex differentiation and required for transcription of steroid-producing enzymes, particularly cytochromes of the p450 class.
