Nomi Harris received her undergraduate degree from Princeton University in computer science and molecular biology, and her master's degree in computer science from the Medical AI group at MIT. Since then, she has held positions at the National Center for Biotechnology Information at the NIH; UCSF; Axys Pharmaceuticals (formerly Arris; now owned by Celera); and consulted for the now-defunct DoubleTwist (formerly Pangea Systems). She recently left the Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (which is in Berkeley, not Livermore). Nomi's main projects at LBNL involved genomic sequence annotation and annotation visualization tools. She was the BDGP project leader for the Apollo genome annotation and curation tool.
Nomi has been on the organizing committee for many bioinformatics and computational biology conferences, including the Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC) and the Annual Conference on Computational Genomics.
She is married, with two children and two cats.
