Research Interests:

My research is focused on biomedical applications (microarray, SNP data analysis, and biomarkers), genomics profiling for different diseases and disorders (diabetes, chronic lung disease, brain injuries), development of gene ontology, annotation and pathways for microarray research and how related genes encode functionally related proteins.

In addition, I am interested in computational models (neural networks) that could be utilized in solving bioinformatics problems including quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR), computer assisted drug design (CADD), high throughput screening (HTS) and genome mapping.
