Research focusProfessor Ellisman is an expert in the development and application of network and information technologies to advance the biological sciences. His research furthers investigations in the basic molecular and cellular mechanisms of the nervous system and enables the development of advanced technologies in microscopy and computational biology. He is a pioneer in the development of three-dimensional, light and electron microscopy and the application of advanced imaging technologies and computational resources to achieve greater understanding of cellular structure and function, particularly applied to the nervous system. Prof. Ellisman’s telemicroscopy research initiative was instrumental in the evolution of cyberinfrastructure, i.e., the use of advanced networks to connect computational, data storage, visualization, and software tools with rare research assets to address global research priorities. Prof. Ellisman recently expanded his efforts to build community resources using emerging capabilities in information technology to two new biology initiatives: a project in neuroscience to create an electronic “Whole Brain Catalog;” and a community-serving cyberinfrastructure for microbial metagenomics known as CAMERA (Cyberinfrastructure for Advanced Marine Microbial Ecology Research and Analysis). |
