Alexander holds the position of Senior Vice President Research and Development. He joined BIOBASE in 2000. Dr. Kel is heading the R&D department of the company and responsible for scientific coordination of bioinformatics research and development projects. Before joining the Biobase GMBH, Dr. Kel was a Group Leader and Principal Investigator at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics, Novosibirsk, Russia. His group has developed one of the first databases on gene regulation and the first program for promoter recognition. He has received both Master of Science and Ph.D. degrees in Computational Biology, totalling almost 20 years of scientific research in this field. Since that time, Dr. Kel was involved in research in practically all fields of bioinformatics, from molecular evolution, and structural biology to database development, application of machine learning techniques and sequence analysis. In the recent years his interests shifted considerably towards system biology including structural analysis of signal transduction and gene regulatory pathways and dynamic modelling of regulatory circuits of such complex cellular processes as cell cycle, differentiation and appoptosis. He has contributed to over 150 publications in the peer-reviewed national and international journals and to several books on computational biology and bioinformatics. Alexander Kel was invited to several international conferences for oral presentations and tutorials. He has taught genetics, evolution theory and bioinformatics in the Novosibirsk State University since 1988 and at the Gulbenkian Training Programme in Bioinformatics, Oeires, Portugal since 2003. The scientific career of Dr. Alexander Kel includes research stays in USA (e. g. 1993: Supercomputer Center, Tallahassee; 1997: University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, 1999: Cold Spring Harbor, NY, Visiting scientist), Italy (1991,1992: ITBA, Milan, Visiting professor), and Germany (1994, 1995, 1996, 1997-1998: GBF; 1997: Max Plank Institute of Molecular Biology, Berlin, visiting scientist and Post. Doc.). Dr. Kel has scientific specialization in the following fields: bioinformatics, molecular biology; theoretical biology, database development, DNA sequence analysis, molecular evolution, theory of mutation and recombination process, modeling of molecular genetic information systems. His current research interests include: in silico biology, investigation of molecular mechanisms of gene regulation, development of the database on transcription regulation sequences; development of software for analysis and recognition of functional genomic sequences, promoter recognition, genome functional annotation.
