RESEARCH
Bioinformatics & Genomics
Research in this area addresses the development of pathogen diagnostics for different platforms, comparative genomics, sequencing, host-pathogen interactions, viral evolution, and genotype-phenotype analysis. |
Drug Design & Molecular Interactions
This research is based on using molecular models to develop drugs, engineer proteins, and understand how chemicals interact with biological macromolecules. |
||
Flow Phenomena Modeling
This research uses computational fluid dynamics to understand and characterize flow phenomena in the human body under normal and pathological conditions. |
Immunology & Vaccine Research
We focus on analysis and modeling approaches that combine immunology with pre-clinical and clinical vaccine studies to identify determinants of vaccine efficacy against military-relevant infectious diseases. |
||
Musculoskeletal and Blast Injury
Our research in this area focuses on characterizing the risks of stress-fracture injury, the mechanisms of traumatic brain injury from blasts, and the effectiveness of eyewear in a blast environment. |
Network Science & Systems Biology
This area focuses on both basic and applied research projects aimed at understanding and modeling protein-protein interactions, metabolic networks, blood coagulation, wound healing, and inflammation. |
||
Physiological Data Modeling & Mining
Research in this area focuses on the development of individual-specific mathematical models and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for preventing non-battle injuries, optimizing and enhancing Soldier performance, and optimizing casualty care. |
Systems Toxicology
Our research aims to understand, detect, and predict the adverse effects of drugs, chemicals, and toxicants on biological systems, using computational and experimental approaches. |
