Research interests

Biological research increasingly relies on high-throughput experimental technologies. Sequencing technologies, in particular, have had a significant impact on modern biological research, allowing organisms to be described not just through their gross morphological and phenotypic features but also through the sequence of their genome. While determining the genome sequence of an organism is an important task, sequencing technologies are also increasingly being used as a research tool, e.g. to explore binding patterns for transcription factors.

My research is focused on understanding how new high-throughput experimental technologies can be used in biological research. I am interested both in developing the computational infrastructure for conducting biological research and in directly being involved in biological research projects. A detailed description of ongoing research in my lab is available on my Research page.
