معرفی
Karin Dorman is a Professor in the Roy J. Carver Department of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Molecular Biology at Iowa State University, where she conducts interdisciplinary research at the intersection of computational methods and biological systems. Her work bridges bioinformatics algorithm development with investigations into immune signaling pathways and stem cell biology.
Her educational background includes:
- PhD in 2001 from the University of California, Los Angeles
- B.S. in 1994 from Indiana University, Bloomington
Dr. Dorman's research focuses on bioinformatics, computational biology, and molecular genetics, with significant contributions to genomic analysis methods and immunological mechanisms. She develops computational tools like MULTICLUST for population genetics and CAPG for polyploid genotyping, while investigating NOD1-dependent NF-kB signaling in hematopoietic stem cell specification. Her work on antimicrobial resistance prediction models bridges veterinary and human health through One Health frameworks.
Analysis of her 2022-2025 publications reveals dual methodological and biological emphases: (1) innovative bioinformatics tools for genotyping, epigenomics, and microbiome analysis; (2) mechanistic insights into inflammatory signaling dynamics in stem cell development. This integration of computational and experimental approaches characterizes her interdisciplinary research program.
