Research Experience
  • 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.
