Overview
The Division of Biomedical Informatics at Cincinnati Children's Research Foundation is home to the following faculty labs:
- Directed by: Bruce Aronow, PhD, and Anil Jegga, DVM
- Focus: Computational identification of cis-regulatory regions and functionally significant non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs); computational approaches to biological system mapping/modeling
- Directed by: Jason Lu, PhD
- Focus: Developing computational tools to unravel the molecular mechanism of human diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases
Ma Lab
- Directed by: Jun Ma, PhD
- Focus: Development, transcription, morphogen gradient, embryo, robustness, quantitative studies
- Directed by: Mario Medvedovic, PhD
- Focus: Developing Bayesian hierarchical models for unsupervised and semi-supervised learning from diverse data types; developing protocols for comprehensive data management and the statistical analysis of microarray data
