3D Printing and Biovisualization

The 3D printing and biovisualization program encompasses tools and technologies for enhanced bioscientific and medical visualization.

Clinical Genomics

The clinical genomics team focuses on analysis of patient-related data, including exome/genome analysis and RNA-seq, to aid in clinical research projects for diagnosis of known diseases and discovery of novel genetic disorders.

Data Science, Biostatistics, and Informatics

The data science, biostatistics, and informatics team focuses on maximizing the value and knowledge contained in your data to identify patterns, prioritize experimental variables, and perform predictive modeling.

Imaging

The imaging team aims to understand the structure and distribution of components and processes at the sub-cellular, cellular, or gross anatomical levels. 

Metagenomics

The microbiome and meta-omics team focuses on analyses of microbes and microbial ecology including metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, metabolomics, and integrations of other 'omics data.

Microbial Genomics

The microbial genomics team has expertise in many types of genomics methods applied to metagenomics, microbial genomics, transcriptomics, phylogenomics and others.

Structural Biology

The structural biology team develops and applies theoretical and computational methods to biological problems at the molecular level. Our work encompasses a broad range of topics relevant to structural biology, from quantum chemical calculations of small molecules to large-scale simulations of macromolecules and their complexes.
