Dr. McIndoe received his Ph.D. in immunology and molecular pathology in 1991 from the University of Florida. In 1992, Dr. McIndoe received a Postdoctoral Fellowship to study with Dr. Leroy Hood at the University of Washington in the Department of Molecular Biotechnology. During this five year fellowship, Dr. McIndoe developed his interest in genomics, biotechnology, bioinformatics and automation, culminating in the development of a number of high throughput technologies to automate the genotyping process necessary for complex disease linkage analysis. In 2002, Dr. McIndoe moved to Augusta University in Augusta, GA as the Associate Director and one of three founding members of the newly created Center for Biotechnology and Genomic Medicine. Over the last 23 years at AU, Dr. McIndoe has been the Director of the Data Coordinating Centers for five national NIH consortia; the Animal Models of Diabetic Complications, the Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers, the Diabetic Complications Consortium, the MMPC-Live Program and the Innovative Science Accelerator Program. He is currently a tenured full professor in the Medical College of Georgia, College of Graduate Studies and the College of Allied Health Sciences and Director of the Center for Biotechnology and Genomic Medicine.
The research interests of the McIndoe laboratory are in bioinformatics and computational biology. Dr. McIndoe’s lab focuses on two broad themes of scientific inquiry. The first is the management and coordination of NIH funded multicenter consortia as Data Coordinating Centers. These projects deal with data integration and management of large scale projects in Mouse Metabolism and Diabetic Complications. The second focus is in algorithm development for the analysis of high-throughput molecular data to provide biological insight into basic biology and disease processes.
