The Computational Biology division is involved in a variety of research areas:
Prof Nicola Mulder's research interests include:
- Understanding the pathogenesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis through comparative genomics and biological networks of the pathogen and host
- Studying human genetic factors underlying disease susceptibility
- Studying African population genetic diversity
- Developing tools and resources to support high-throughput biology data analysis
- Understanding the effect of the microbiome on immunity and disease
Assoc Prof Darren Martin's research is centred around:
- Viral evolution focusing on the development of computational tools for analysing genetic recombination, phylogeography, and the biological relevance of nucleic acid secondary structures
