Over the last decade, our research team has investigated the dynamic responses and global properties of living cells using systems biology approaches. More specifically, we have developed computational models and statistical techniques to interpret instructive cell signaling and high-throughput transcriptome-wide behaviors of immune, cancer, and embryonic development cells.
Cracking the biological code: insights from Dr. Dawn Field
We’re used to thinking of codes as long strings of seemingly indecipherable characters – languages known to computer programmers. However, there exists another, more significant code found within us and around us: DNA, our planet’s biological code.

A Convergent, Multidisciplinary Approach Towards Developing Microphysiological Systems: Tissues-on-Chips for Pharmacological Safety and Efficacy Testing
Advances in basic and preclinical science continue to fuel the drug discovery pipeline, however only a small fraction of compounds meet criteria for approval by the FDA.
SBML (the Systems Biology Markup Language) and related resources for computational systems biology
Computational modeling allows biologists to create formal models of cellular phenomena that can be simulated, analyzed and compared to experimental data. Biologists today have at their disposal a wide range of software tools for their modeling efforts. The wealth of resources is a boon to researchers, but it also presents interoperability problems.
TGIF Seminar: September 30, 2016
Held usually at 3:30pm on Fridays, TGIF discussions are informal talks on current scientific topics and events. The gathering is sponsored by the PGC, NIMBB (National Institute of Molecular Biology & Biotechnology) at UP Diliman, and the IB (Institute of Biology) at UP Diliman.
Chronobiology and Genomics

Comparative genome analysis of fungal species: Focus on CAZYmes and secondary metabolite gene clusters
Held usually at 3:30pm on Fridays, TGIF discussions are informal talks on current scientific topics and events.
Trends in Marine Genomics
Held in an intimate setting that is conducive to free-wheeling and informal discussions, participants will discuss trends in local and international genomics research in the marine sciences and, more importantly, speculate or make predictions on future breakthroughs in the field.
Garuda Platform – Re-imagining connectivity in medicine
With the explosion of data in different dimensions of drug discovery, biomedicine and healthcare, a key challenge is the ability to connect the disparate data sources, discover the right analytics tools for a specific analysis and navigate through inter-operable analytics to provide executable insights.
