Topics and Expertise: genomics

Diego Calderon, PhD

Assistant Professor

My lab studies how DNA is translated into life and how genetic mutations can lead to disease using cutting-edge computational and experimental techniques. Recently, I have been excited to apply deep learning and other machine learning approaches to interpret results from massively parallel reporter...

Fischbach joins project to generate drugs from bacterial genomes

Bacteria generate small molecules to fend off their fellow microbes. They also produce molecules that affect the response of host organisms—including humans—to their presence. Such molecules have been a major source of antibiotics, immunosuppressants, anti-cancer agents, and other drugs.
