Research summary
Computational Analysis and Modeling for Biological Dynamics Data. Recent advances of measuring and manipulating technologies in life sciences are generating biological experimental data including spatiotemporal dynamics within and between molecules, cells, tissues and entire organisms. Computational approaches for such large-scale multi-dimensional data have the potential to improve our understanding of biological phenomena such as development, aging and disease causation – toward a data-driven science. We are therefore pursuing research and development of algorithms, methods, and software tools that will enable comprehensive interpretation of such data; for example, image processing and data analysis methods using statistics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence techniques, and mathematical modeling methods based on physical and chemical laws. Our aim is to understand biological phenomena and to predict how it will be regulated under various perturbations.
