Computational Biology

Computational biology and bioinformatics Computational Biology and Bioinformatics is the application and development of computational methods to solve important problems in biology and biotechnology. At USJ, we develop novel machine learning models to learn the hidden patterns from biological data (DNA and proteins) and correlate them with the observed physiochemical properties and biological activities of […]
