Tom Morton
Software Engineer Extraordinaire

Dr. Morton received a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Georgia in 1991. He worked as a Postdoctoral Scientist at SmithKline Beecham for four years where he collaborated with Dr. Myszka to develop software programs designed to improve biosensor data analysis. These programs have expanded the applications of biosensors by introducing the field to numerical integration and global analysis, as well as including mass transport and other complex binding reactions in the analysis.

Currently, Dr. Morton is working with the Center to develop new methods of processing biosensor data to improve the speed and reliability of the analysis. Future programs will be designed for dedicated applications, such as concentration analysis and small molecule screening to support the implementation of biosensors in drug discovery.

Dr. Morton has developed other programs, including Bugbrain, which is an educational software program that simulates the function of neural networks.
