Erwin Frise

Dr. Frise serves as Sr. Director of Data Science and Bioinformatics. Prior to joining Fabric, Erwin was a PI at the Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories. Working closely with the statistics department at UC Berkeley, he pioneered new methods for low dimensional statistical representations for high dimensional data, image analysis and microscope automation. Earlier he was instrumental in the annotation of the first metazoan genome (Drosophila) by contributing analysis algorithms and developing one of the first high-performance compute clusters for biological genome annotation.

Dr. Frise holds a Master's degree in Molecular Biology and a Ph.D. in Genetics jointly from the University of Vienna, Austria, and the University of California, San Francisco.
