Bioinformatics and Genomics
Istvan Albert's Research Interest: My research focuses on
developing computational, data-driven approaches that
make biological data easier to analyze,
interpret, and communicate. I am also interested
in bioinformatics education, particularly
developing practical, accessible approaches to
teaching computational and data-analysis skills to life scientists.
Lu Bai's Research Interest: Chromatin structure and
its role in gene regulation.
Philip Bevilacqua's Research Interest: Attaining a molecular level
understanding of RNA in biology.
Santhosh Girirajan's Research Interest: Genetics of
neurodevelopmental disorders.
Teh-hui Kao's Research Interest: We use Petunia inflata as a
model to study biochemical, molecular, and structural bases
of a self/non-self recognition mechanism between pollen and
pistil adopted by flowering plants to prevent in breeding and
promote outcrossing.
Arthur Lesk's Research Interest: Computational analysis of protein
structure, function, genomics and evolution.
Manuel Llinás' Research Interest: The combination of tools from
functional genomics, molecular biology, computational biology,
biochemistry, and metabolomics to understand the fundamental
molecular mechanisms underlying the development of this
parasite.
Shaun Mahony's Research Interest: We build machine learning
applications to understand how transcription factors control
cellular identity.
Paul Medvedev's Research Interest: Developing computer science
techniques for analysis of biological data and on answering
fundamental biological questions using such methods.
Anton Nekrutenko's Research Interest: Our lab is the birthplace of
Galaxy. It is developed and maintained together with our
collaborators and worldwide community. We also work on a variety
of topics related to mutational dynamics and experimental
evolution. We are also an integral part of the AnVIL project.
Andrew D. Patterson's Research Interest: Understanding the host-
metabolite-microbiota communication network‚ specifically
how the manipulation of gut microbiota by diet and/or
xenobiotics impacts host metabolites (e.g., bile acids, short
chain fatty acids), their metabolism, and how these co-
metabolites interact with host ligand-activated transcription
factors.
Joseph C. Reese's Research Interest: Stress-induced gene expression
and UV resistance pathways, Regulation of mRNAs from birth to
death during stress responses, Targeted protein degradation
during transcriptional stress and How RNA Polymerase II contends
with barriers throughout the genome.
Moriah L. Szpara's Research Interest: Understanding the consequences
of HSV latency for the neurons that harbor the HSV pathogen
and the search for improved therapeutics using a combination
of virology, neurobiology, next generation sequencing
technologies, and bioinformatics.
