Kevin Myers is a bioinformatics scientist and lead of the Computational Biology Group at the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC) housed in the Wisconsin Energy Institute at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Myers received an undergraduate degree in Biology from the University of Evansville in Evansville, IN. He obtained his PhD in microbiology studying anaerobic growth of the bacterium Escherichia coli at UW-Madison and performed post-doctoral research on engineering an evolved yeast for biofuel production at UW-Madison.

In the Computational Biology Group in the GLBRC, he and his team work to assist GLBRC researchers with computational and bioinformatics questions to learn how to use individual microbes and microbial communities to produce biofuel and other valuable bio-products from non-food based plant. He and his team take advantage of cutting edge technology and tools to develop new pipelines and collaborate directly with members the GLBRC to help answer their scientific questions.
