Jennifer Sun | Modern scientific exploration generates rapidly increasing amounts of data, far outpacing our ability for manual analysis. My research develops computer vision & machine learning methods for complex scientific inquiries and workflows that require expert attention. My goal is to enable more effective ways for human experts and machine learning systems to collaborate, in order to expand our understanding of the world around us.-lab |
Haiyuan Yu
| The Yu group performs research in the broad areas of Network Systems Biology. We use integrated computational-experimental systems biology approaches to determine protein interactions and complex structures on the scale of the whole cell. In particular, we focus on protein-protein and gene regulatory networks and seek to understand how such intricate systems evolve and how their perturbations lead to human diseases, especially autism spectrum disorder and cancer. |
