Research Interest

Computational prediction and modeling of protein structures and protein complex structures, large-scale biological data mining, computational inference of biological pathways, and cancer bioinformatics

Research Vision

To build a nationally recognized bioinformatics research program at the University of Georgia. To develop highly effective computational techniques for in silico biological investigation, particularly related to characterization of biomolecular structures and biological pathways and networks. To train the next generation of computational biologists whose knowledge and skill sets span both biology and computation.

In the Lab

Computational software for protein structure predictions, for biological pathway inference and reconstruction, for biological data mining

Why Georgia?

The opportunity to build a first-class bioinformatics research and training program, with strong support from the University of Georgia, the Georgia Research Alliance and the Georgia Cancer Coalition. This is a fantastic environment to conduct research at the intersection of life science and computational science.
