Research Description
Systems analysis has become a requirement for making sense of high-throughput data and for characterizing properties of biological networks. In order to extend these recent developments to medical applications, there is a pressing need for reconstructing and analyzing the biochemical networks that direct cellular processes. The subsequent analysis of these networks requires high-performance computing and sophisticated mathematical techniques.
Our research goals consist of the construction and analysis of large-scale biochemical networks and their application to human disease. Currently, we are working to develop methods for incorporating high-throughput data with network reconstructions, and we are using these tools to study fundamental problems in infectious disease, cancer, toxicology, and metabolic engineering.
