Henry is a Research Scientist with the Bioinformatics Division of the Iowa Institute of Human Genetics (IIHG). His areas of expertise include analysis of RNA Sequencing data, R programming, genomics, and physiology. He has a diverse background in engineering, computer science, bioinformatics, physiology and genomics. He received a B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 1992 from Mississippi State University and a Ph.D. in Physiology and Biophysics from the University of Mississippi Medical Center in 1997. In 2018, he joined the Bioinformatics division of the IIHG and has worked on multiple diverse projects and has collaborated with investigators both on and off campus.

After initially training as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Iowa in molecular biology, genetics, and generation of transgenic mice, he then decided to use his computational skills to address fundamental biological questions by using high throughput technologies and by integrating publicly available datasets. Since joining the staff at the University of Iowa as an Assistant Research Scientist in the laboratory of Curt D. Sigmund, Ph.D., he has been active in the bioinformatics community on campus and has been an author or co-author on manuscripts published in high-impact journals including Cell Metabolism, Hypertension, and Circulation Research.
