Our lab is interested in primarily in structural biology (protein and RNA structure), and to some extent in systems biology.
Under NSF funding, we are now actively pursuing aspects of RNA secondary and tertiary structure prediction -- kinetic traps, space of k-point mutants, Boltzmann partition function computations by efficient algorithms. Tools we have developed and continue to develop will play a role in the design of RNA sequences optimized to have certain folding properties -- designer RNA.
