My group develops computational approaches to study the molecular basis of pathogenesis and intervention of infectious diseases. Our research involves developing computational approaches that can leverage large-scale genomic data to gain actionable insights into infectious disease biology. Specifically, we focus on three key areas: i) unraveling molecular mechanisms common between non-infectious and infectious diseases, to guide targeted drug repurposing, ii) identifying genomic signatures, functions, and mechanisms relevant to host-pathogen interactions, to enable understanding and guide diagnosis, and iii) developing tools and resources for seamlessly relating sequence, structure, and function of genes/proteins in poorly characterized pathogens.
