Suzanna (Suzi) E. Lewis is a scientist and Principal Investigator (PI) at the Berkeley Bioinformatics Open-source Project (BBOP) based at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Lewis leads the development of open standards and software for genome annotation and ontologies.[2][3][4]

Education

Lewis has Master of Science degrees in Biology and Computer science.[5]

Research

She led the team responsible for the systematic annotation[6] of the Drosophila melanogaster genome, which included development of the Gadfly[7] annotation pipeline and database framework, and the annotation curation tool Apollo.[8] Lewis' work in genome annotation also includes playing instrumental roles in the GASP[9] community assessment exercises to evaluate the state of the art in genome annotation, development of the Gbrowse[10] genome browser, and the data coordination center for the modENCODE project.[11] In addition to her work in genome annotation, Lewis has been a leader in the development of Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO),[12] National Center for Biomedical Ontology (NCBO),[13][14] contributing to the Gene Ontology[15] Sequence Ontology,[16] Uberon anatomy ontologies,[17] and developing open software for editing and navigating ontologies such as AmiGO,[18] OBO-Edit[19] and Phenote.

Awards and honors

In 2005 Lewis was elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in recognition of her contributions to science in the fields of Information, Computing, and Communication.[1]
