Algorithms in Bioinformatics

Welcome to the Algorithms in Bioinformatics lab.

The main focus of our lab is on developing new and advanced algorithms for bioinformatics. Here is a short list of our current main research interests:

Microbiome analysis and simulation
Long read analysis
Phylogenetic networks and trees
Models, algorithms, software and complexity

For more details, see the research section, our publications and our software.
