Janies is an associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Informatics at The Ohio State University. He builds evolutionary trees to track changes in the virus, models the movement of the flu and its properties such as drug resistance, and predicts where and how it will move next.

Daniel Janies has extensive knowledge of computational genomics. His background includes serving as a principal investigator at the American Museum of Natural History where he lead a team that built one of the world's largest computing clusters. He currently tracks the spread of infectious diseases based upon genetic and geographic data derived from animal and human viruses and their hosts. His results have been reported in local and international media and he was recently called to testify to the United States Senate on "Forestalling the Coming Pandemic: Infectious Disease Surveillance Overseas."
