Within the fields of computational biology and bioinformatics, Professor Chen seeks to apply computer algorithms and mathematical methods to answer questions in biology and medicine, specifically in studies of human genetics, proteomics, and genomics. Dr. Chen's research includes (1) large-scale sequence analysis for the next generation sequencing data, (2) analysis of genetic variations of the human genome for their relationships to human diseases, (3) studies of functions and dynamic of large-scale biochemical networks inside the cell, and (4) identification of proteins through analyzing mass spectrometry data.
