The work of this group addresses algorithmic, statistical, and mathematical modeling problems arising in the context of creating and understanding biological information at the level of whole genomes, cells, and populations of cells. This group has developed several sophisticated analytical tools to attack biological problems that range from deciphering the genomes of pathogens (E. coli, P. falciparum, etc.) to understanding the inter-cellular communications involving factors and receptors that are implicated in cancer.

The group's most recent focus has been on a bioinformatics environment that makes it easier for biologists to develop their own computational tools. The other focus of this group is directed toward cell informatics, focusing on signal transduction, kinetic modeling of pathways, cell physiology, etc.

The group is highly multi-disciplinary, attracting researchers and students from mathematics, statistics, computer science, and biology who collaborate with physicians, physicists, and chemists as well as professionals in their own disciplines.

This group is led by Prof. Bud Mishra.

  • 2006-09-15: A new release of GOALIE, our novel microarray experiments analysis tool, which leverages the GO Ontology, has been made available for download. The new version contains a GANTT Charts viewer that gives a snapshot of the relevant up- and down-regulated biological processes resulting from GOALIE's temporal enrichment analysis.
