Thomas H. Hampton serves as Senior Research Scientist and Bioinformatics Training Program Director at Dartmouth College's Geisel School of Medicine within the Department of Microbiology and Immunology. With 15 years of dedicated collaboration with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) researchers since 2009, he has co-authored 66 peer-reviewed publications advancing CF science.
His research specializes in computational methodologies including mixed-effect linear models, nonparametric statistics, Monte Carlo simulation, power analysis, database design, and high-performance computing. These techniques address complex microbiological and immunological challenges, particularly in CF-related studies of the gut-lung axis and intestinal microbiome dynamics. His work emphasizes FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data principles for scientific reproducibility.
Dr. Hampton's intellectual property achievements include:
- Two US patents covering signal processing and distributed data processing systems
- A registered patent application for altering the intestinal microbiome in cystic fibrosis
As co-Director of the FAIR Bioinformatics course (Microbiology 150), he trains scientists in R programming and bioinformatics since 2007. He provides critical biostatistical support for grant applications, experimental design, and publication development across DartCF's research ecosystem, including the Bioinformatics & Biostatistics Core (P30) and Research Training Core (CF RDP).
