Paterson, Andrew H.
Research Interest
The research in our plant genome mapping lab falls into three different categories: identification and implementation of DNA diagnostic tools that are predictive of specific plant characteristics, identification of the functions of specific genes in plants, and throwing light on plant biodiversity at the genic and genomic level. Plant genomics is a thriving area of research with numerous exciting opportunities open to the next generation of plant scientists.
Malmberg, Russell
Research Interest
I am interested in both bioinformatics and plant evolutionary genetics. My work in plant biology involves examining the genetics, evolution, and ecology, of insect-eating pitcher plants of the Sarracenia species. Most of my bioinformatics work involves developing methods of modeling and searching genomes for non-coding RNAs.
Handel, Andreas
Research Interest
Our lab combines experimental data with mathematical analysis and computational simulations to obtain an understanding of the complex processes that govern the dynamics of infectious diseases. Specific diseases of interest include influenza, tuberculosis, and norovirus. We have also looked into drug resistance, pathogen-immune response interactions, and the evolution and adaptation of microbial populations. We receive funding from the university as well as the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in the National Institutes of Health (NIAID/NIH).
Glenn, Travis
Research Interest
My research involves developing and using DNA techniques and technologies to address problems in ecology, evolution, environmental health & remediation, toxicology, and natural resource management that have a direct impact on human health. Most of my current research focuses on environmental genomics and developing new tools to study germ-line mutations.
Dobbin, Kevin K.
Research Interest
Our research lab focuses heavily on integrating biostatistics into cancer research. Among some of the things we examine are high dimensional data, experimental design, classifier development and validation, cancer biomarkers, and causal modeling.
Arnold, Jonathan
Research Interest
Our lab is interested in the identifying gene regulatory and biochemical networks for fundamental biological processes in fungal systems and validating these biological circuits by fitting them to genomics data. We are interested in reassembling the pieces of DNA from the genome to life. The theme for the genomics and computational biology part of my research is “computing life”, i.e., identifying biological circuits for fundamental processes like carbon metabolism and validating these biological circuits by fitting them to genomics data describing what the cell is doing (i.e., RNA and protein profiling data).
