Biography

I study biological interaction networks and pathways in health and disease.

My current research is grouped into three main projects:
1. Construction and analysis of cell-cell interaction networks and pathways in the human lung.
2. Chromatin interaction hubs and their dynamics in human cells (especially, endothelial cells).
3. Generation and maintenance of Bioinformatics data repositories, data analysis tools, and web platforms, for different types of interactions, networks, biological pathways, and disease mechanisms.

Currently, my group is focused on (i) technologies such as graph databases, web platforms, and text mining, (ii) computational methodologies such as gene set analysis, network analysis, and machine learning, (iii) biological datasets such as bulk and scRNA-seq, bulk and scHi-C, ChIP-seq, meta-omics, and others, and (iv) respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.
