   Research summary

 

   Research in the group focuses on modeling biological data using networks and applying graph algorithmic

   techniques to mine these data and extract patterns of biological significance. Research projects combine

   tackling graph theoretic problems and analyzing real data with biological collaborators. Example projects include:

·        Inferring subnetworks that underlie a biological process of interest by integrating protein network

data with gene expression or phenotypic information (example papers: 1, 2).

·        Boolean modeling of signaling networks (example papers: 1).

·        Predicting drug properties and their applications in the clinical practice (example papers: 1, 2).

·        Evolutionary analysis of protein-protein interaction networks (example papers: 1, 2).
