Nexus Genomics consists a team of bioinformaticians and software engineers, led by three experienced bioinformatics professionals out of Stanford University, who combined have 30 years of industry and research experience in biotech and IT companies and top academic institutions. They lead our internal technology development effort, and personally work with our clients and partners to deliver the highest quality of discoveries, software, and databases. John Y. Park
John Shon, M.D., M.S.
Liping Wei, Ph.D.
John Park is a veteran in software engineering and management,
with over 15 years of industrial experience. Most recently,
he was a key scientist in the Artificial Intelligence-based
Drug Discovery group at Arris Pharmaceuticals (acquired by
Celera). John was one of the chief architects leading the
software design for Toshiba's next-generation medical magnetic
resonance imaging system. He was a researcher for four years
at the artificial intelligence research think tank Advanced
Decision Systems, where he won several awards for outstanding
systems deployment. In the mid-80's, he did pioneering work
on fault-tolerant operating system and hardware design at
Sequoia Systems. John is on-leave from his Ph.D. work in biomedical
informatics at the Stanford University, where he developed
novel knowledge base systems and database integration systems.
He holds an A.B. in biochemistry from Harvard University.

Prior to joining Nexus Genomics, John Shon was Director of
Medical Informatics at Genetic Health, where he managed an
interdisciplinary team of software engineers and health care
professionals to design web-based genetics applications. He
has wet-lab research experience at Harvard, Dana Farber
Cancer Institute and Stanford Medical School, and has published
in oncogenes and microbiology. John is a board-certified physician,
with an M.D. from Stanford University and residency in internal
medicine at the University of Chicago. He holds an A.B. in
biochemistry from Harvard, and an M.S. in biomedical informatics
from Stanford.

Liping Wei is a Consulting Assistant Professor in Medicine
at Stanford University. She is also Chief Scientist of
Computational Biology at the Beijing Genomics Institute,
Hangzhou Center. Liping holds a Ph.D. in biomedical
informatics from Stanford University, working with Dr.
Russ Altman, and an M.S. in applied mathematics from
Brown University. Prior to joining Nexus Genomics,
she was an informatics research scientist at Exelixis,
Inc., where she led the informatics effort in the Mechanism of Action group
and the Plant Biotech group. Liping is an editor of
the forthcoming journal "Genomics, Bioinformatics, and Proteomics",
member of the Education and Conference Committee of the International
Society of Computational Biology, and member and track chair at
international conferences such as the
IEEE Computer Society Bioinformatics Conference and the Pacific
Symposium of Biocomputing. Liping has patent application in target
discovery, and published in the areas of comparative genomics,
automated annotation
of genes, elucidation of function from protein structures,
and systematic analysis of protein structure-function relationship.
