Description of Research

Summary Statement of Research Interests

Within the fields of computational biology and bioinformatics, Professor Chen seeks to apply computer algorithms and mathematical methods to answer questions in biology and medicine, specifically in studies of human genetics, proteomics, and genomics. Dr. Chen's research includes (1) analysis of variations of the human genome and their relationships to human diseases, (2) studies of functions and dynamic of large-scale biochemical netoworks inside the cell, and (3) identification of proteins through analyzing mass spectrometry data.
