Assorted Computational Biology Problems
Faculty Involved: Brendan Mumey
We are currently investigating problems in protein surface structure prediction (using a novel algorithm for mapping the epitope surface of a protein) and computational methods for investigating the dynamics of gene regulation using DNA microarrays (joint work with Tomas Gedeon in the math department).
Support:
This work is currently unsupported but we expect to submit a large NIH grant soon in conjunction with investigators in the departments of chemistry and microbiology. Previous work has been supported by NSF grant #9978582, amount $95,649.
Opportunities:
Opportunities exist for research-interested students at the B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D.
levels.
