Background

Before joining BYU, Dr. Payne was an Senior Research Scientist at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and an Assistant Professor of Informatics at the J. Craig Venter Institute. Dr. Payne received a B.S. of computer science at Brigham Young University. He earned his Ph.D. in Bioinformatics from UC, San Diego working with Dr. Vineet Bafna.

Cancer Research

Dr. Payne's research interests are focused on algorithms for proteomics data analysis and subsequent interpretation and integration. He is PI of a cancer informatics proposal through the National Cancer Institute in collaboration with NYU and Washington University (WUSTL). As part of NCI's CPTAC consortium, Dr. Payne's group is involved in the analysis of large clinical cohorts for Ovarian, Endometrial, Glioblastoma and other cancers. The lab's current focus is on the effects of DNA mutations on protein abundance and activity.
