Bioinformatics Laboratory

Our research focuses on the study, integration, and analysis of complex biological data from multiple experimental sources to build computational models of biological processes and human diseases. We emphasize research at multiple levels of biological organisation, from the molecule to the organism, to address post-genome biological and medical problems.

Current themes include

  • Functional genomics
  • Genome-scale modeling and design of proteins and their complexes
  • Analysis of the molecular basis of human diseases
  • Study of complex biological networks
  • In silico simulation of whole organs

Concentrating on a interdisciplinary approach that combines methodologies and tools coming from biology, computer science, information technology and mathematics we collaborate closely with leading research laboratories nationally and internationally.
