Eric Scheeff

Eric Scheeff
Bioinformatics Scientist

Structural and evolutionary kinase genomics. Combines comparative genomics with structural analysis to better elucidate the functions of kinases. Currently working on vertebrate kinomes, whole genomic evolution, and analysis of evolutionary constraints on kinase genes. Also has been involved in numerous collaborations providing bioinformatics support to other Salk labs, as part of the Razavi Newman Center.

Yufeng Zhai

Yufeng Zhai
Bioinformatics Programmer

Builds the pipelines that drive most of our work in kinomes, evolution, and proteostasis. Maintainer of kinase.com and other lab websites.

Mark Jinan Chen

Mark Jinan Chen
Postdoc

Genomics and evolution of phosphatases. Mark is carrying out a long-standing request from many people to create a phosphatome to rival the current state of the kinome. Joint postdoc with the lab of Jack Dixon at UCSD.

Scott Becker

Scott Becker
Postdoc

Aging and Proteostasis. Specific Projects cover the interactome of the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator (CFTR) as a method to find new therapeutics; the processing of insulin; and the development of genome-wide approaches for proteostasis and orthology detection.

Recent Alumni and continuing collaborators

Mike Dacre

Mike Dacre
Research Assistant

Evolution of kinases in many lineages, with a current focus on fish kinases, and the evolution of kinases around the base of the metazoa, with previous work in plants and sponges. Now at the Fraser lab at Stanford.
