Biography
Elliot Lefkowitz (b. 1955), Associate Professor, Department of Microbiology and Director of the UAB Molecular and Genetic Bioinformatics Facility, received his B.S. degree in Microbiology at the University of Maryland-College Park in 1977. He received his PhD in Microbiology from the University of Texas Medical Branch-Galveston in 1983 where he studied the regulation of interferon-gamma activity. He continued his training as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where he participated in research projects involving the cloning of interferon-inducible genes and the molecular biology and evolution of vaccinia and vesicular stomatitis viruses. Dr. Lefkowitz came to UAB in 1987 and in 1991 became director of the UAB AIDS Center Biological Computing Resource Facility which is now part of the institution-wide Molecular and Genetic Bioinformatics Facility. His current work includes research on microbial genomics and evolution, and the development of bioinformatic resources (databases, analytical tools, and web-based interfaces) to support these interests.
