Current Research Interests
Interested in developing computational algorithms for deriving information and new knowledge from large-scale biological data, including genomi sequence data, microarray gene expression data, proteomic data, etc., and apply such computational tools to solve real biological problems including Text-Mining to build content-rich relationship networks among biological concepts, Inferring functions for hypothetic proteins, identifying critical pathogenic and immunogenic factors for host-pathogen interactions and key controlling factors for other important biochemical and biologic processes; predicting protein function sites for substrate-binding specificities, gene regulatory and immunogenic control; developing database, and robust computational systems for biological data management and analysis.
