Research Areas

The Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Ph.D. program focuses on preparing quality researchers and experts in the field of bioinformatics and computational biology. Graduates of the program will be able to analyze, discuss and synthesize the knowledge in the field of bioinformatics and computational biology, which is essential for the current biology research that can help lay the foundation for country development of the new era.

The research can be categorized into four groups as follows:

1. Generate and analyze high-throughput data including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, metagenomics etc.

2. Determine evolutionary relationships using a large number of molecular data and/or builds models evolutional systems to predict changes.

3. Develop mathematical, statistic, or computational tools or algorithms to analyze biological data or to build high-throughput databases.

4. Develop and/or use mathematical models or computational modeling to understand biological system and systems biology.
