Dr. Cavalcoli received his Ph.D. in Molecular Virology from Louisiana State University in 1993.  A second post-doctoral opportunity in 1997 brought Dr. Cavalcoli from the lab bench to the bioinformatics field at Parke-Davis.  Over the next 8 years Dr. Cavalcoli helped develop the bioinformatics infrastructure and applications groups at Parke-Davis and Pfizer.  He is currently the Project Manager for the National Center for Integrative Biomedical informatics and Director of the Bioinformatics Core Unit, part of the Center for Computational Medicine and Biology (CCMB) at the University of Michigan Medical School and adjunct assistant professor of medicinal chemistry at the College of Pharmacy.  Dr. Cavalcoli has always been at the juncture of molecular biology, bioinformatics and computational technology and his most recent work has been in helping to establish the analysis core for next-generation sequencing and related technology.
