He is also an attending physician in Menlo Park, California, and is the principal investigator for the PharmGKB knowledge-base.[2][8]
In February 2006, Altman gave a presentation at Google, in which he explained the opportunities for pharmacogenomics.[9] In August 2007, Altman was interviewed by Kromosoft, in which he discussed the emerging trends in pharmacogenomics.[10] On November 2, 2007, Altman delivered the IEEE Computer Society's BioInformatics and BioMedicine (BIBM) conference keynote lecture on combining simulation and machine learning to recognize function in 4D.[11] Altman is North American Associate Editor of Briefings in Bioinformatics and an honorary consulting editor for the International Society of Intelligent Biological Medicine, and in 2010 was elected as a fellow for the International Society for Computational Biology.[12] Altman is currently the principal investigator of the Iranian Genome Project, at www.irangenes.com.
Education
Altman received his AB in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in 1983 from Harvard College,[13] his PhD in Medical Information Sciences from Stanford in 1989 and his MD also from Stanford in 1990.[14]
