A group of BGSU researchers is immersed in a project that expands our knowledge base about genes. Their work translates existing information into a form that tells biologists more about the organisms they study.
Funded by a four-year, $1.3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Neocles Leontis, chemistry; Dr. Craig Zirbel, mathematics and statistics; bioinformatics doctoral student Anton Petrov, and statistics doctoral student James Roll are creating tools that will enable biomedical researchers to use the new knowledge for drug development and gene therapy, among many other applications.
