Genomics and Bioinformatics
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.
