   The research areas I pursue include translational bioinformatics - computational drug discovery and drug repositioning, network medicine, systems biology of disease and drug response.My team and I are focused on solving biomedical problems by designing, developing and implementing innovative and novel computational methods. These approaches speed up the diffusion of omics within biomedical research and education and transform the omics data overflow into structured knowledge to enable translational research.Some of the most trailblazing discoveries made within my lab include bioinformatics applications (ToppGene Suite) and rare disease network analysis. We have also discovered drug repositioning candidates for rare diseases such as cystic fibrosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.I continuously believe that no problem is unsolvable. Problems and challenges are essential prompts for tapping into human creativity. Over the years, I’ve mentored more than 30 PhD and master’s students and served as a chair, co-chair or committee member.During my early years of research, I realized that the stimulus for technological advancement to further evolve into translational discoveries is through team science and collaborative research.
