ABOUT DAVE BAKER

I am currently Head of Sequencing at QIB. Previous to QIB I spent 10 months implementing NGS at Food Forensics and prior to that was a team leader in the Genomics Pipelines Group at EI. My primary role was to run and maintain EI\'s Next Generation Sequencing and Whole Genome Mapping platforms from sample delivery to machine output. I was also involved in Outreach activities to both internal and external audiences interacting with individuals from a range of backgrounds and scientific understanding.I have worked with DNA Sequencing technologies for 30 years next year. Graduating with a Mechanical Engineering first degree from Oxford Brookes University I moved to Norfolk and started at The Sainsbury Laboratory running their DNA Sequencers in 1995. In 2002 I moved over to the John Innes Centre to develop TILLING on the ABI3730 capillary sequencing platform. In the summer of 2009 I became one of the first members of EI, fomally known as TGAC (The Genome Analysis Centre).
