Biography

Vince Buffalo is a bioinformatician at the UC Davis Department of Plant Sciences, in Jorge Dubcovsky's wheat genomics lab. Before this, he was the primary statistical programmer at the UC Davis Genome Center's Bioinformatics Core where he analyzed many diverse genomics datasets. An obsessive programmer since he was a young teenager, Vince was drawn to the statistical and computational problems of genomics. He works on open source bioinformatics tools in his work and free time, and enjoys fly fishing and cooking when away from the computer.
