Affiliation: University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology; IDeA National Resource for Quantitative Proteomics, Director of Bioinformatics

Dr. Stephanie Byrum is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Dr. Byrum is also the Director of Bioinformatics for the IDeA National Resource for Quantitative Proteomics. She received her PhD in Bioinformatics via the joint UAMS/UALR Bioinformatics program in Little Rock, AR in 2009 with a focus on proteomics analysis. Dr. Byrum conducted her postdoctoral research in the laboratory of Dr. Alan Tackett, where she developed the ChAP-MS technology, which provided the first-ever method to purify a single genomic locus for proteomic identification of bound proteins and histone post-translational modifications. Her current research interests include developing bioinformatics workflows for quantitative proteomics, proteogenomics, meta-proteomics, and multi-omics data integration.
