Bio-Data Science and Education Group

​DESCRIPTION OF RESEARCH WORK
The Bio-Data Science laboratory is focused on the development of statistical approaches for analysing and resolving platform-specific idiosyncrasies in multi-omics data; identifying and resolving confounding issues such as batch effects, technical bias and missing values in high-dimensional data; and developing robust biomarker and drug target prediction techniques using a combination of machine learning and enhanced in silico validation techniques. This lab is also interested in Bio-education, with an emphasis on the use of new AI-based technologies, text-mining and high-impact pedagogical practices (experiential learning), to enhance the quality of biological and biotechnological education. ​
