Hi! My name is Jeff Chang. I have just finished school and have not yet started a post-doc. I'll update this page when things get settled down.

My primary research interests lie in the application of knowledge from primary literature towards biological problems. I am also interested in bioinformatics / computational biology, functional genomics, algorithms, machine learning, programming languages, and software development. I am a co-founder and coordinator of the Biopython project. In the past, I have also worked on the Feature project studying the biochemical properties of protein structures.

Here is my BioNLP Web Server.

Here is a list of NLP papers in Bioinformatics.
