Research

[Research group | Collaborators]

Computational tools: [FragHMMent | ROSETTA | PopGenIE]

Systems biology: ... network inference that incorporates interactions between regulators ... by evaluating increasingly more complex regulatory mechanisms. [more]

Machine learning : ... experiments to provide representative examples and computational models to provide experimentalists with new, testable hypotheses. [more | My introduction to bioinformatics and machine learning]

Gene regulation: ... describe the specific mechanism behind the combinatorial nature of gene regulation by constructing IF-THEN rules ... [more]

Protein structure prediction: ... library of recurring local descriptors ... general enough to allow assembly of unseen protein structures. [more | Local descriptors of protein structure]

Enzyme-ligand interactions: ... models can be generated that span the entire enzyme-ligand space ... [more]
