  • Laboratory of Informatics of Biological Functions, Department of Computational Biology and Medical Sciences, Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, The University of Tokyo

■ Recruiting students

We welcome enthusiastic and motivated students both of biology and of informatics who are interested in computational genomics using large-scale NGS datasets. The current themes are as follows:

  • Feature extraction algorithm from large-scale epigenome data (e.g., ChIP-seq)
  • Algorithm development for chromosome conformation data (Hi-C, ChIA-PET)
  • Data analysis of single-cell data in colaboration with wet labs
  • Functional analysis of cohesin protein and related factors for cohesinopathy
  • Tools for integrated analysis based on multi-NGS assays

Feel free to contact us!
