Joel Dudley is a Bioinformatics Specialist in the Butte Lab. His work involves the development of a genomics-based classification of human disease, known as the Genomic Nosology, and other projects in genomic medicine and translational bioinformatics. Prior to joining Butte Lab, Joel was the Chief Technical Officer at the Center for Evolutionary Functional Genomics where he participated in the development of the popular Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (MEGA) software package.
