Structural Protein Informatics Lab
Research
Our lab is committed to advancing the field of computational science by integrating multi-disciplinary research across artificial intelligence, computational biology, data science, and more. We strive to bridge fundamental theory with real-world applications, exploring topics ranging from machine learning model interpretability and optimization to large-scale data-driven simulations and algorithmic development. The aim is to not only contribute impactful findings to academia, but also to create practical tools and technologies that benefit society. Through collaboration, rigorous experimentation, and constant innovation, our team is continuously pushing the boundaries of what's possible in computational research.
