Jonathan D. Wren is a scientific investigator at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation[1] in the Department of Arthritis and Clinical Immunology, and an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center.[2]
Wren received his Ph.D. in Genetics and Development at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in 2003,[3] and immediately after began his independent research career at the University of Oklahoma.[4] He moved to OMRF in 2007. His bioinformatics research focuses on developing computational methods of inferring logical conclusions from extremely large bodies of unstructured or semi-structured measurements and/or facts.[5] He has been recognized for his work in text mining,[6] studies on URL decay (link rot) in scientific publications,[7] plagiarism detection[8] and for discovering the function of uncharacterized human genes.[9] Wren is an Associate Editor for the journal Bioinformatics.
