Metabolomics and systems biology of Caenorhabditis elegans using NMR,
mass spec, and computational approaches.
Computational Science and Parallel Computing; Bioinformatics: Involved in a project called: Computing Life: to solve system of differential equations that model biochemical reaction networks by using efficient/parallel numerical methods.
My research group develops statistical and and computational approaches to better extract
information from biological data, particularly in the genotype-phenotype relationship.
Phylogenetics, evolutionary biology, statistics.
Bacterial physiology and metabolic integration using biochemical, genetic and metabolomics approaches.
Cancer genomics; human junk DNA; genomic instability.
Growth-defense tradeoff, phenylpropanoid metabolism and carbon allocation,
gene family evolution and functional diversification, alternative splicing and gene duplication.
Use bioinformatics and comparative genomics to study
relationships between the genomic DNA sequence and the
organism’s physiological characteristics,and regulatory
processes that govern the flow of genetic information.
