Research Overview

The group's main research activities have been focused on analysis and integration of genomic data to perform data-driven discovery using an integrated and interdisciplinary approach (Bioinformatics, Systems Biology, & Stem Cell Biology). Bioinformatics (computational and comparative genomics) serves to provide computational tools for mining of large-scale data and integrated annotation, while Systems Biology approaches are employed for the integration of different bioassay platforms (MPSS/SAGE, cDNA microarray, ChIP/chip array, & CGH array) and statistical pathway analysis. Both Bioinformatics and Systems Biology approaches are linked with Biology for novel gene/pathway identification and experimental validation. Thus most research projects are collaborative with Stem Cell biologists from GIS. The group also works with wetlab biologists in other research areas such as cancer, dry eye and immunology.
