You have found the work-related webpages of Alex Buerkle. I am a geneticist, data scientist, and evolutionary biologist. I was previously a professor at the University of Wyoming (2004 to 2022) and a senior data scientist at Gencove. As of January 2024 I will be a Staff Scientist at Illumina working on bioinformatics for clinical genomics. I remain an adjunct professor at the University of Wyoming and continue to work from beautiful Laramie, Wyoming.
