Our research is focused on systems biology applied to human reproduction and is currently supported by one NSF and two NIH grants totaling over 4 million. We use artificial intelligence, machine learning and data mining techniques, applied to high-throughput biological data in order to gain novel insights into complex disease mechanisms.
