Modern-day biology is a data-driven field, thanks largely to the advances in high-throughput sequencing technologies.
The Bioinformatics Lab at De La Salle University brings together faculty members and students interested in deploying the arsenal of computer science and computer engineering to solve problems in computational biology.
We work on algorithms and software for high-throughput sequencing data analysis, bioinformatics for diseases and epidemics, computer architecture for bioinformatics algorithms, and similar topics that bridge computer science and biology.
See some of our projects, publications, and software.
Given the interdisciplinary nature of our research, we collaborate with several research groups, including:
Our present and past projects have been funded by:
We are always looking for energetic, driven, and curious students to join us.
