Meet UBC Principal Investigator Vivek Bhardwaj
Vivek Bardhwaj shares his insights on his data-driven research for exploring cell identity and fate.
Meet UBC Principal Investigator Duong Vu
Fungi are among the most diverse groups of organisms, with an estimated 2–6 million species, but less than 5% of them have been formally described. Duong Vu uses bioinformatics to address this challenge. By developing computational tools and collaborating across disciplines, she is advancing the study of fungal diversity and its role in the environment. […]
Meet UBC Principal Investigator Pavel Sinitcyn
As modern biology continues to produce huge quantities of data, the challenge of making sense of it all grows accordingly. With expertise spanning both computer science and pharmaceutical sciences, Pavel Sinitcyn aims to advance bioinformatics by developing AI and machine learning. His current focus is on computational mass spectrometry, where he and his team develop innovative […]
Meet UBC Principal Investigator Daniel Tamarit
You are focussing on archaeal and bacterial evolution. Why do we need bioinformatics to understand this? Given the incredible amount of evolutionary information in DNA and protein sequences, bioinformatics has become a central methodology in microbial evolutionary research. There are two main aspects of present-day bioinformatics research that I personally find extremely exciting. First, the […]
Meet UBC Principal Investigator Belen Rabaglino
How can bioinformatics contribute to veterinarian science? The development of high-throughput technologies during the last decades has allowed us to measure biological molecules on a big scale. The analysis of this vast amount of data implies the application of mathematical algorithms in numbers derived from biological events. Indeed, bioinformatics tools find patterns that can objectively […]
