Dr. Jerry Wu

This web site has NOT been updated for a long time.

I am a staff scientist at EMBL European Bioinformatics Institute since 2010.

Before joining EBI, I worked with Cambridge Institute for Medical Research, Wellcome Trust Sager Institute and BBSRC Silsoe Research Institute, as a senior research scientist and computer officer, with interdisciplinary research and development experience on computational image analysis, statistics data analysis, high-throughput biomedical screening, bioinformatics, systems biology, pattern recognition and machine learning, plus strong programming, math and statistics skills; Always enthusiastic and open to challenges in new technologies.

I am a member of IEEE, IAPR, SPIE, BMVA and IASTED.

Projects

	Screening a human genome-wide siRNA library - high-throughput screening, image analysis, bioinformatics infrastructure.			Segmentation of mouse embryo images by using probabilistic index map (PIM)

	MitoCheck: Regulation of mitosis by phosphorylation - a combined functional genomics, proteomics and chemical biology approach.			Atlas of Gene Expression

	Embryo Gene Expression Patterns			Image processing on the development of technology for improved production of mammalian embryo

	3D models incorporating prior knowledge to aid animal conformation assessment by using stereo vision			Texture classification of 3D surfaces using photometric stereo

	Development of photometric texture database			Virtual Textile Catalogues using 3D Surface Textures

My Ph.D. Thesis

	I won British Council Research Exchange Award (UK-China), together with my collaborator Dr. J. Dong, 2007. I won the Parliamentary Fellowship at the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology (2006-2007), Westminster, UK. Volunteer work as a project manager for NESTA SENSE-ational Science Project, 2007 I won Crucible Award from National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA) in Feburary, 2005, UK. I was awarded International Networks for Young Scientist (INYS) Follow-up Funding from British Council in France, Feburary, 2005. One of my projects (3D imaging of live animal) had been reported on BBC News on 28th November, 2004, while we are selected to take part in a Celebration of UK Research and Innovation Exhibition in London, as part of International Review of UK Engineering Research 2004 by EPSRC. I was awarded to take part in the Royal Society's MP-Scientists Pairing Scheme, Westminster, London, 2004 - 2005.
