Biology has transformed into a quantitative science with the advent of
technologies that produce large amounts of data, whose analyses demand
advanced computation. The bioinformatics research group in CSE develops
computational tools to enable biological discoveries.
In Proteomics (the study of active proteins in a cell), the
group is engaged in the analysis of mass spectrometry data to identify
and quantify proteins, discover post-translational modifications and
processing, sub-cellular localization, the genes that encode these
proteins, and study of proteins from non-cultured organisms
(meta-proteomics). In Genomics/Genetics, the group studies
problems relating to genome rearrangements, structural variation,
deep-sequencing, and population genetics. In each case, our focus is
on novel analyses of data from high throughput technologies including
sequencing, genotyping, mass-spectrometry. CSE Bioinformatics is an
integral part of a vibrant Bioinformatics PhD program on campus with
faculty from Biochemistry, Bioengineering, Biology, Mathematics,
Medicine, Pharmacy, and Cancer Biology.
