Bioinformatics Laboratory

We study artificial intelligence, machine learning, bioinformatics, and their applications to cancer informatics and microbial ecology. The main focus of our current research is on developing advanced algorithms to help biologists keep pace with the unprecedented growth of genomics datasets available today and enable them to make full use of their massive, high-dimensional data for various biological enquiries. Our work is based on solid mathematical and statistical theories, and supported by National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, Bankhead-Coley Cancer Foundation, Susan Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and SUNY Research Foundation. Our work on metagenomics and high-dimensional data analysis has been used by more than 200 research institutes worldwide.
