Todd DeLuca
Todd DeLuca joined the Wall Laboratory in August 2004 as a Biological
Software Engineer.
Before coming to Harvard, Mr. DeLuca attained his Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science from Brown University and then worked in natural language processing research and web application software engineering.
At Harvard, Mr. DeLuca develops bioinformatics tools, including the Roundup Orthology Database, manages bioinformatics databases, and analyzes transcriptional data as part of the lab's network scale analysis of complex multigenic disorders.
Mr. DeLuca's outside interests include hiking long-distance trails, like the Appalachian Trail, and studying the dynamics of adaptive competitive systems. His personal web site is todddeluca.com.
About our Lab
Our lab is interested in computational approaches to understanding biological function and the genetic basis of diseases. Our work falls into three interrelated aims.
- Predicting functional network organization of the cell
- Network scale analysis of complex multigenic disorders
- Autworks: decoding the genotype-phenotype map for Autism
