Research Summary
Our group provieds bioinformatics consulting and develops new bioinformatics software We provide a database and analysis software service for gene expression microarrays and supervise the data processing pipeline for high-throughput DNA sequencing.
I act as bioinformatics consultant for NYU Medical Center, collaborating as needed on a wide range of research projects. The extent of these collaborations ranges from a few consultation meetings to co-investigator on NIH grants. I am currently working on projects that include metagenomics (Human Microbiome Project), the genetic variation in the malaria parasite, and analysis of human microarray data from a variety of clinical and basic science research projects. Other projects that I have recently worked on include the discovery of new brain-specific proteases in the public EST database, discovery of antigens using a pattern based search of complete genome sequences, identification of bacterial genes linked to severe dental caries, and an evolutionary analysis of the mammalian glucosidase gene family.
