Our Research

We advance the understanding of human health and biology through novel computational methods applied to large and diverse datasets.

We lead and collaborate in national and international research, advise at the highest levels of government and academia, and actively seek collaborations, recognizing the value and impact of team science.

Our researchers have collectively published more than 1,000 papers in scholarly journals in a wide range of scientific fields.  The National Library of Medicine assigns Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms to all biomedical publications - the graph to the right shows the breakdown of MeSH terms for our institute publications.  Links to many of our publications can be found below.
