Bioinformatics
Our division formulates and applies algorithms that help researchers understand how a metagenome’s encoded information determines its behavior and characteristics.
Research
Our bioinformatics and computational biology research covers:
- genome and proteome sequence annotation and analysis
- metagenomics
- structural bioinformatics (molecular structure, function and interactions)
- functional genomics
- network/systems bioinformatics
- evolutionary bioinformatics
- clinical bioinformatics
- biomolecular design
- nanobiotechnology
Resources and Equipment
UB’s Center for Computational Research reserves approximately 1,500 CPU cores for our divisional investigators’ use.
We also use the center's web and database servers, which provide public access to the algorithms we develop.
Training Opportunities
At our investigators’ discretion, we accept trainees from high school students to postdoctoral fellows.
You’ll help advance our research by contributing to one or more of the following areas:
- programming
- scripting
- web server development and application
- algorithm development for protein structure modeling and simulation (including docking)
- analysis
- application of bioinformatics algorithms to biological problems
Services
We offer our bioinformatics expertise to collaborating investigators.
