Develop and apply novel computational methods for:
- Predicting protein structure from sequence
- Predicting protein function from sequence and structure
- Predicting protein-protein and protein-ligand interactions
- Predicting functional sites in sequences
- Genome-scale function and structure annotation
- Analyzing functional units in networks
Background
Research interests lie in the area of bioinformatics, specifically elucidating the intertwined relationships between protein/gene sequences, structure, function, interactions, genome, and pathways. The ultimate goal is to gain a comprehensive understanding of how structures and functions are coded in molecular sequences and orchestrated within a cell.
