Career

Lipman was a director of National Center for Biotechnology Information at National Library of Medicine at the National Institutes of Health. This center included groups led by Stephen Altschul (another BLAST co-author), David Landsman, Eugene Koonin[4] (a prolific author on comparative genomics), and L. Aravind.

He is most well known for his work on a series of sequence similarity algorithm, starting from the Wilbur-Lipman[5] algorithm in 1983, FASTA search[6][7] search in 1985, BLAST[8] in 1990, and Gapped BLAST and PSI-BLAST[9] in 1997.

Lipman also works with Dennis A. Benson and others at NCBI, contributing to the maintenance and improvement of GenBank and annually publishes a paper on their progress. The improvements include specification of data format, curation of data, integration of protein information with DNA sequences and scientific literature.[10][11][12]

He was one of the originators of the Influenza Genome Sequencing Project, a project to sequence and make available the genomes of thousands of influenza virus isolates.[citation needed]

He is also the Editor-in-Chief for an open access, peer reviewed online scientific journal called Biology Direct.[13]

In May 2017, it was announced that Lipman would leave his role at the NCBI to join plant-based meat company Impossible Foods as Chief Scientific Officer.[14]

Awards and honors

Lipman received the Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities Award for outstanding contributions to Biomolecular Technologies in 1996.

In 2004, he was awarded the ISCB Senior Scientist Award and elected an ISCB Fellow in 2009 by the International Society for Computational Biology.[2][15]

In 2005, Dr. Lipman was elected to the US National Academy of Sciences.[citation needed]

In 2013, he received the award of a White House "Open Science" Champion of Change.[16][17]
