Bioinformatics Research
The primary emphasis of the group's research is on the computational analysis and prediction of the function and three-dimensional structure of proteins from their amino acid sequence.  However, we also work on broad computational problems in biology, from DNA sequencing and mass-spectrometry, to protein structure analysis.

A more detailed overview of our work will be presented here soon. In the meantime, you can read an introduction and  summary of some recent work on the College of Life Sciences website and also browse our publications, software and databases.
