Dave Clements

My last day with Galaxy will be December 17, 2021. After that I am starting a position at Anaconda. See my departing blog post for more.

I am a Community Manager for the Galaxy Project at Johns Hopkins University (and formerly at Emory University). I organize meetings and courses, prepare training materials, and improve Galaxy's documentation, community website, and web presence. As a community manager I am part of a team that makes sure that the Galaxy Project and the Galaxy Community are the same thing. Galaxy is its community.

Prior to working on Galaxy I ran the GMOD Help Desk from 2007-2010, where I did similar work. I am still involved in the GMOD community as a representative of Galaxy. I have a guest faculty appointment at the University of Oregon, and over the years I have telecommuted from the Phillips and Cresko Labs in the Institute of Ecology and Evolution (IE2) and the Toomey Lab in the Department of Earth Sciences.

Background

My background is in computer science. I have been working in bioinformatics since 2000.

Prior to working on Galaxy (and for NESCent and GMOD before that) I worked as the database manager at the European Renal Genome project (EuReGene), as a member of the Edinburgh Mouse Atlas Project (EMAP). This project studied kidney development and disease. My work focused on gene expression patterns, and anatomy ontologies.

Prior to EuReGene I worked for ZFIN, the zebrafish model organism database at the University of Oregon for 5 years as a database administrator and software engineer.

My pre-bioinformatics career included
