Stephen McGee has been awarded the 2019 Susan R. Patterson Professional Development Award in Bioinformatics and Computational Genomics by the Greenwood Genetic Center (GGC) Foundation.
McGee, who joined GGC’s faculty in 2010, earned a master of science in bioinformatics at the University of North Carolina – Charlotte and is currently pursuing his PhD in biomedical data science and informatics from Clemson University. McGee was GGC’s first bioinformatics specialist.
The annual award recognizes the efforts of an individual at GGC whose primary professional role is to support and develop the bioinformatics and computational genomics work performed at GGC.
McGee has also worked to develop strategies for the use of machine learning to manage the large amounts of data generated by some of GGC’s research technologies with the goal of improving the ability to diagnose especially complex cases.
