Dr. Briallen Lobb

Briallen is a Postdoc at the Doxey lab. She did her undergraduate degree in Biochemistry and her PhD in the Biology Department at the University of Waterloo. Her PhD was broadly specialized in bioinformatics, with her thesis titled "Exploring annotation through genomic and metagenomic data mining". This functional annotation background was useful in Briallen’s short association with the Nissimov group, where she pieced together a more complete picture of the functional profile of large marine algal viruses, whose proteomes are full of unannotated sequences.
