    Our laboratories promote research in Bioinformatics and the development of the foundation for an integrated and extensive resource for the Bioscience.

    Chemical Life Science

    Asso Prof GOTO, Susumu (D Eng)

    We have been developing the GenomeNet (http://www.genome.jp/) database to connect genome and biological systems information, providing a knowledge infrastructure used by researchers worldwide. We also develop bioinformatics techniques to understand the living systems based on molecular interactions and reactions, and apply them to medical and pharmaceutical science.

    Mathematical Bioinformatics

    Prof AKUTSU, Tatsuya (D Eng)

    This laboratory develops algorithms and mathematical models for bioinformatics and systems biology. The research topics include inference and analysis of various types of biological networks, prediction and analysis of protein/RNA structures, statistical models for sequence analysis, and scale-free networks.

    Bio-knowledge Engineering

    Prof MAMITSUKA, Hiroshi (D Sc)

    Research in modern life science focuses on global views of each biological mechanism, which can be modeled by complex structures, such as pathways. We have tons of experimental data to measure molecular behaviors in a mechanism, which makes our objective develop techniques to comprehensibly understand biological phenomena from data.

    GenomeNet Project Management Office

     
    Prof MAMITSUKA, Hiroshi (D Sc)

    GenomeNet Project Management (GPM) Office provides 1) computational resources including massively parallel servers in Institute for Chemical Research and 2) an integrated database, called GenomeNet (http://www.genome.jp/), on a variety of life and medical sciences information. GPM Office was established in Bioinformatics Center in 2011.
