Objective

The Bioinformatics Research Lab aims to advance the development of cutting-edge
computational techniques for three primary objectives:

  • Disease Prediction: The lab focuses on building accurate predictive models that based on their genetic makeup, clinical data. The team utilizes Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), and Statistical Modeling techniques to analyze large-scale genomic and biomedical data. The goal is to identify early signs of disease.
  • Mutation Identification: In-depth analysis of genetic mutations that contribute to disease onset and progression is a key objective. By employing genomic sequencing data and advanced computational algorithms, the lab seeks to uncover mutations in DNA and RNA that are linked to various diseases, including cancer, neurological disorders, and
    viral infections.
  • Drug Candidates Generation: The lab also works on discovering novel drug candidates that can target disease pathways effectively. By using methods such as Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), Docking Simulations, and Molecular Dynamics, the team identifies and designs molecules with the potential to act as therapeutic agents. This involves screening large compound libraries, predicting protein-ligand interactions, and optimizing the molecules for better efficacy and minimal side effects. The primary focus is on diseases like cancer, viral infections (e.g., COVID-19), and other complex disorders.
