Sean Roberts Eddy is Professor of Molecular & Cellular Biology and of Applied Mathematics at Harvard University. Previously he was based at the Janelia Research Campus from 2006 to 2015[1][7][8] in Virginia. His research interests are in bioinformatics, computational biology and biological sequence analysis.[9][10][11][12] As of 2016 projects include the use of Hidden Markov models[13][14] in HMMER, Infernal[15] Pfam and Rfam.[16][17][18][19]
