Broadly, my research interests involve biomedical informatics and its related disciplines, namely computer science, systems engineering, molecular and cellular biology, mathematics, statistics and probability. Specifically, my interests include innovative ways to model gene regulatory networks, application of probabilistic, statistical and biological methods to the analysis of biomedical data, incorporating existing biological knowledge and resources into solving biomedical problems, development of new algorithms for extracting useful information from biomedical data, as well as a little bit of graph theory in its application to biomedical informatics.
