Research

The Institute supports all scientific investigation involving computational methods such as simulation, modeling, machine learning and artificial intelligence. Our faculty represent a number of key areas in computational health sciences - spanning the spectrum of inquiry from biological mechanisms to clinical practice to population health. 

 

network

Using computational simulation and visualization to understand the behavior of complex biological systems and networks.

cancer

Developing medical models that propose the customized care of each cancer patient.

clinical informatics

Using the wealth of clinical and phenotypic data to uncover new knowledge relating to health and disease.

neurons

Using computational methodologies to understand the organization and information processing of neural systems.

protein fold

Using computational methodologies to analyze large genomic and proteomic data sets, design molecular tools to probe cellular function, integrate data, and predict complex cellular processes – all in order to achieve a systems-level understanding of human disease.

brain

Applying powerful computational algorithms that emulate the human mind – driving innovation in research and medical practice.
