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 […]

Meet UBC Principal Investigator Lucas Kaaij
Why do we need bioinformatics to understand the 3D genome? The research field of 3D genome organization has evolved rapidly over the last decade. This is largely driven by the implementation of massive parallel sequencing based techniques to the field. The reduction in sequencing costs per base has resulted in the possibility to map 3D […]
