Research Interests

Bioinformatics and Genomics research topics are abundant, ranging from small-scale sequence analysis to system-level molecular interaction modeling. Our research spans theoretical and applied bioinformatics, primarily focusing on the development of computational methods and systems for genomic data analysis and mining. In addition, we apply bioinformatics tools to study biological and biomedical problems such as viral evolution, protein classification, and pathogen-host-drug molecular interactions.
