Educational Background
Brandeis University (1971), Ph.D.
Research Interests
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
Danio rerio functional genomics
with developmental cell biologist 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.
