Research Areas
- Computational Biology
- Machine Learning
- Algorithms
- Population Genetics
- Statistical Genetics
The research in our lab involves the development of computational methods for the analysis of genetic data. Our goal is to improve the understanding of disease genetics through a rigorous search for he different genetic components of disease mechanisms and their interactions. For a more detailed story, you are welcome to visit our Lab.
