Andrew Su is a professor in the Department of Integrative Structural and Computational Biology and holder of the Elden and Verna Strahm Chair for Medical Research. His research focuses on building and applying bioinformatics infrastructure for biomedical discovery with a particular emphasis on leveraging crowdsourcing for genetics and genomics. Representative projects include the Gene Wiki, BioGPS, MyGene.Info and Mark2Cure, each of which engages the crowd to help organize biomedical knowledge. These resources are collectively used millions of times every month by members of the research community, by students and by the general public. Su earned his PhD in chemistry at Scripps Research.
