Data mining, machine learning, visualization, data and knowledge fusion, graphical interfaces... These are all research areas for which we are developing our methods and tools. We use them in practical data analytics, and specialize in bioinformatics (hence the lab's name), crafting artificial intelligence approaches to answer questions from systems biology, functional genomics, and biomedicine.
