He supervises a staff whose goals are: planning, developing, and implementing biomedical informatics solutions to advance the discovery and development of new cancer therapeutics.

Recent work by Dr. Taylor has involved building NCI-funded cancer-related databases (dbs) and performing analytics on these dbs in the Google Cloud. He also constructed cancer mutation dbs, and mapped expression data to immunoglobulin variable regions. Prior to that, Dr. Taylor worked on analysis of bacteria and bacterial communities, including whole-genome metabolic modeling and regulatory network inference. Before this, he performed significant work in computational infrastructure (including scalable NoSQL dbs, parallelized distributed processing pipelines) and diverse software tool development. Dr. Taylor has authored or co-authored 57 journal papers, 10 conference papers, and four book chapters.
