Michael Schatz has been involved in a number of interesting computational biology projects. I worked in a bioinformatics lab ~10-12 years ago and I remember using his fast short read aligner to help speed things up. Back then the nanopore devices were still just rumors.

Computers have Moore's law with a base or time constant of 12-24mo. Batteries seem to have the same with a base of about 10 years (slow Moore's law I've heard it called). It feels like genome/genetic things have the same behavior but with a base of something like 5ish years.
