Bioinformatics and Integrative Genomics

With the proliferation of biological data over the past decade, bioinformatics has become an indispensable tool in understanding biological processes.  The major focus of our research is to contribute to the understanding of the functional aspects of the human genome in health and disease through integrative analysis of the different levels of information encoded by the genome. Our research involves the application of methods in data mining and machine learning to a broad range of problems in genomics, proteomics and molecular evolution with particular focus on cancer biology. Our research group also extensively use mass spectrometry as a technique to study proteins and the proteome in relation of gene regulation and protein function.
