    Genetic Distance Metrics

    Comparing cases to controls across sets of genes enables predictions of susceptibility and identification of robust and fragile pathways.

Welcome

Living processes comprise many highly variable, strongly interdependent and adaptive parts, and state-of-the-art computing coupled with modern biological experiments now provide an immense opportunity for understanding complex biological dynamics. Our research, broadly described as computational systems biology, is concerned with the development of novel computational techniques for the analysis of data from high-throughput biological experiments, with the goal of elucidating the processes that lead to the emergence of complex phenotypes.
