Research

My research interest is centred on developing a system-level understanding of complex biological systems. In particular, I am interested in investigating transcriptional and post-translational gene regulation involving high-dimensional data sets using computational and mathematical approaches. I also develop methods for analysis large-scale biological data.


The specific problems I am working on include:

1. Human protein-DNA interactions

2. Human phosphorylation network

3. Sensitivity analysis and parameter estimation of biochemical kinetic models

4. Other ongoing projects



Some problems I worked on in the past:

1. Modeling of the circadian clock in Drosophila

2. Stochastic modeling of a viral infection process

3. Parameter estimation of stochastic differential equations
