This research area integrates computational biology, genomics, and molecular medicine to understand, diagnose, and treat diseases such as cancer and tumors through data-driven precision approaches. UH faculty are connecting large-scale biological and clinical data to uncover disease mechanisms and develop targeted therapies.
Key Research Areas:
- Cancer Genomics: Identifying genes and pathways responsible for aggressive cancers; analyzing multi-omics data to predict progression and outcomes.
- Immunomodulatory Therapies: Exploring fungal polysaccharides and metabolites that stimulate immune cells; applying computational models to optimize immune-based treatments.
- Recombinant Therapeutics: Engineering proteins and metabolites with anticancer properties guided by genomic insights.
- Integrative Bioinformatics: Combining systems biology and computational modeling to identify novel drug targets and advance personalized medicine.
