Chris Evelo.

Agilent Technologies Inc. and the Agilent Technologies Foundation announced that Dr. Chris Evelo (Maastricht University, NBIC) receives the Agilent Thought Leader Award supporting development of software to integrate different types of biological data.

The goal of this award is to help accelerate breakthroughs in disease research by facilitating integrative systems biology approaches.

The Evelo Lab helped develop WikiPathways.org as a community-curated platform for structuring multi-omics data and the associated open-access pathway analysis tool PathVisio. The Agilent Thought Leader Award will fund development of tools for visualizing metabolite fluxes using PathVisio. The goal is to make modeling results much more accessible to biologists and easier for them to interpret.
