Genomics and Bioinformatics
Researchers in this area are applying the power of cutting-edge microarray-based expression, polymorphism, and promoter analyses to better understand questions of development, function, and pathophysiology in both experimental and human disease situations.
By combining expression, genetics, and comparative genomics technologies and analyses of diverse systems, these studies are providing insights into the structure and function of the genome during development of the lung, gut, kidney, heart, and other organs; the pathophysiology of lung and other disorders; and the regulation of gene expression.
We have assembled a world-class team of experts in the fields of bioinformatics, computational biology, computer science, developmental biology, health services research, mathematics and medicine.
