Todd Detwiler

Overview:

My current job title is Research Scientist and my background is in computer science where I hold a master's degree from the University of Washington (UW). I work with the UW Structural Informatics Group.

The Structural Informatics Group (SIG) (http://sig.biostr.washington.edu/), in the Department of Biological Structure, is a research group whose focus is on the development of computational methods for representing, managing, visualizing, and sharing information about the physical organization of the human body.

Some Current Projects:

• Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA): http://sig.biostr.washington.edu/projects/fm/index.html
• FaceBase: I am involved in an ontology extension to this project - https://www.facebase.org/node/158
