Objectives

Mining bioinformatics data is an emerging area at the intersection between bioinformatics and data mining. The objective of the Data Mining and Bioinformatics Lab is to facilitate collaboration between data mining researchers and bioinformaticians by developing cutting edge algorithms, methodologies and software systems in data preprocessing, data transformation, data management, data mining, data visualization, data simulation and modeling for the life science domain. Our goal is to conduct high quality research, train and educate graduate students and attract external funding in the broad data mining and bioinformatics areas.

Areas of research interest include

• Biomedical Literature Data Mining
• Biomolecular Network Mining and Modeling
• Life Science Data Modeling and Integration
• Life Science Data Visualization and Interpretation
• Bioterrorism and Public Healthcare Informatics
• Biomedical informatics
