Biography
Hide
Anil Jegga, DVM, MRes, is a biological and medically-oriented computational biologist. The mission of Jegga Lab is to design, develop and apply novel and robust computational approaches that will accelerate the diffusion of genomics into biomedical research and education and convert the genomics big data deluge into systematized knowledge to understand the molecular basis of disease. To this effect, the lab continues with their focus on integration and mining of multiple sources of genomic, genetic, and biomedical big data to derive models for pathways and processes underlying development, disease, and drug response. Independently and collaboratively, they have previously developed and published tools that allow biologists with minimal computational experience to integrate diverse data types and synthesize hypotheses about gene and pathway function in human and mouse. These tools are designed to answer several straightforward questions that biologists frequently encounter while trying to apply systems-level analyses to specific biomedical problems. The lab is currently focusing on developing and implementing systems biology-based novel computational approaches to identify drug candidates for rare diseases. Specifically, the lab is integrating and mining genomic and compound screening-based big data to identify drug repositioning and novel drug candidates.
