We are a computational biology lab within the Department of Biological Chemistry in
the David Geffen School of Medicine
and also part of the Computer Science Department, the
Interdepartmental Bioinformatics Program, the
Broad Stem Cell Research Center, the
Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, and the
Molecular Biology Institute
at UCLA.
The focus of the lab is
on developing and applying machine learning methods for the analysis of high-throughput experimental data to address problems in epigenomics and
gene regulation. Our research is often conducted in close collaboration with experimental groups.
Please see the publications page to learn more about the lab's research.
We are recruiting new members,
if interested please see the positions page.
