As a Practitioner in Residence Mr. Melillo's duties are similar to an adjunct instructor, except that he has additional responsibilities. Besides teaching two classes, he is the program coordinator for the University's Graduate Certificate in Bioinformatics. He advises prospective students wishing to enter the program and supervises graduate students in the master's program wishing to do their graduate project in bioinformatics.

Teaching Philosophy:
Practice, practice, practice. That's how you learn informatics skills. In his courses, you will have lots of practice. It will start in the classroom, where each student will have their own PC. The practice continues through weekly homework assignments.

Mr. Melillo currently works at the Yale School of Public Health, as a Systems Programmer, in the lab of Josephine Hoh . His current responsibilities include maintenance of a MySQL database and processing of high-throughput genotyping data.

Previous Positions:

Cooley Lab
The Cooley Lab studies the molecular genetics of Drosophila Oogenesis. My role in the lab is the maintenance of a protein-trap database. The database, known as Flytrap, is implemented using MySQL as the backend database and PHP for the web-based front-end.

Kidd Lab
The Kidd Lab studies human population genetics. Most of my time is spent maintaining an Oracle database of polymorphisms that uses an MS Access application as it's front-end. My most recent work has been on an accessory application to automate loading large amounts of data.
