The group conducts research in modern biology problems by tapping on strengths in combinatorics, probability and statistics. Our current interests include detection of functional signals in biological sequences and protein networks, algorithms and models for inference of gene duplication history and reconstruction of phylogenetic networks, and discovery of the topological and dynamic principles of transcriptional regulatory networks.
