Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolR Raborn is an Associate Bioinformatics Principal Investigator at the National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center with over a decade of experience applying computational and functional genomics to understand promoter architecture and cis-regulatory evolution. Trained with leaders in evolutionary genomics, his work spans large-scale functional assays, population genetics, and software development to dissect gene regulation across eukaryotes. He previously advanced promoter discovery methods at Indiana University and studied promoter evolution in Michael Lynch’s group at ASU’s Biodesign Institute. Based in Frederick, Maryland, he blends hands-on tool-building with hypothesis-driven experiments, bridging basic regulatory biology and biodefense applications. An underappreciated strength is his ability to translate complex evolutionary models into practical bioinformatic pipelines that support reproducible, high-throughput regulatory genomics.
