The Program in Bioinformatics and Integrative Biology (BIB) was established in 2008 at the University of Massachusetts Medical School to address one of the most dynamic and central areas in biomedical research—the ever-increasing quantity of molecular information available to scientists. Research in the BIB Program will include systems biology, computational modeling of regulatory and metabolic networks, docking, comparative genomics, protein design, genomic and proteomic biotechnology, microarray engineering and analysis, pharmacogenomics, structural biology, large scale modeling of biological systems, RNA, computational studies of cancer and neurological disorders and functional genomics, synthetic gene networks and molecular computing and genetics. This collection showcases the journal articles and other publications and presentations written by faculty and researchers of the Program in Bioinformatics and Integrative Biology.
