Genomic Studies for Otitis Media
Previously within an indigenous Filipino community with a ~50% prevalence of otitis media, we identified an A2ML1 mutation that confers a high risk of otitis media susceptibility and influences the relative abundance of specific bacterial taxa within the middle ear.
Cataloging planetary biodiversity
The Centre for Biodiversity Genomics (CBG) is a research organization dedicated to furthering our understanding of the world’s fauna and flora. Through a variety of approaches, researchers at the institute are discovering, cataloging, and describing biodiversity. DNA barcoding, an innovative technique developed at CBG, utilizes DNA sequencing technology for species identification.
Systems Biology to Overcome TRAIL Resistance in Cancer Treatment
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.
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.
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.
