Tim Randolph, Ph.D., is a mathematician and a Senior Fellow in the Department of Biostatistics at the University of Washington and in the Cancer Prevention Program at the FHCRC. Tim is currently working on methods for processing, analysis, and classification of functional data using harmonic/wavelet analysis, functional analysis, and operator theory. He is also researching the dynamics and control of system processes. His research background includes Banach algebras, operator semigroups and spectral analysis, and qualitative properties in the dynamics and control of linear evolution equations. Tim holds a Ph.D. in mathematics.

Pei Wang, Ph.D., is an Assistant Member at the FHCRC. Her efforts for the CPL have focused on statistical methods for mass spectrometry-based data analysis issues, especially normalization and image alignment. Pei was born in Wuhan, one of the six largest cities in China. She earned a B.S. in Math from Peking University in July 2000. She then came to the US for graduate study in the Department of Statistics at Stanford University. She completed her Ph.D. in the summer of 2004 and is now continuing her research work at the FHCRC.

The Hanash Laboratory at the FHCRC, led by Dr. Samir Hanash, has earned an international reputation for its ground-breaking work in the field of proteomics and molecular diagnostics. The lab is currently studying methods for the large-scale analysis of proteins in hopes of developing simple tests for the early detection and diagnosis of cancer. Dr. Hanash leads the Eastern Consortium of the NCI's Biomarker Discovery Initiative.

The Dan Martin Laboratory at the Institute for Systems Biology, led by Dr. Dan Martin, works with Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) mass spectrometry and has collaborated with the CPL on the MRMer software tool.

LabKey Software is a for-profit partnership that builds free, open source systems to help scientists collect, process, and share data from high-throughput experiments. LabKey's computer science experts collaborate with biologists, immunologists, and bioinformaticists to build systems to process biological data. LabKey is affiliated with and partially owned by the FHCRC.

The Global Proteome Machine Organization supports many projects that help scientists use tandem mass spectrometry data in proteomics research, including X! Tandem. Originally designed by Ronald C. Beavis and David Fenyo, X! Tandem open source is software that can match tandem mass spectra with peptide sequences for protein identification. The CPL's contributions to the X! Tandem project include developing a pluggable scoring algorithm to facilitate further research on methods of protein identification as well as input and output using common data standards.
