Sam Payne Lab

Dr. Payne's research interests are focused on algorithms for proteomics data analysis and subsequent interpretation and integration. His projects often focus on applications in human disease such as cancer. He has led a wide variety of projects over the past 15+ years as an independent and collaborative
researcher. Funded projects as PI include: single cell proteomics (NIH/NIGMS R01GM147653 and Chan Zuckerberg 2023-323305), cancer proteogenomics (NCI U24 CA210972), metaproteomics (DOE Early Career Investigator award) microbial proteogenomics and genome annotation (NSF EF- 0949047). Before
joining BYU, Dr. Payne was an Senior Research Scientist at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and an Assistant Professor of Informatics at the J. Craig Venter Institute.

Dr. Payne received a B.S. of computer science at Brigham Young University. He earned his Ph.D. in Bioinformatics from UC, San Diego working with Dr. Vineet Bafna. His research focused on computational proteomics and algorithm design.
