The field of Bioinformatics and Data Science focuses on developing and applying computational tools to manage, process and extract information from the massive data sets being generated by the high-throughput instruments of the modern biomedical laboratory. Researchers in this cluster are; (1) combining data sets on genome sequences, epigenomic modifications, gene expression and metabolic pathways to produce a more complete "multi-omic" picture of cells involved in complex diseases; (2) developing, testing and deploying new molecular, genomic and epigenomic biomarkers and machine learning classifiers for clinical diagnostics; and (3) developing open-source tools to track the spread and adaptation of viral infections, through the comparative analysis of their genetic sequences.
