Wang, Jeremy WEBSITE EMAIL PUBLICATIONS	PHD PROGRAM Bioinformatics & Computational Biology RESEARCH INTEREST Bioinformatics, Cancer Genomics, Computational Biology, Genomics, Microbiome	Our research focuses on long-read (single-molecule) sequencing and informatics. We develop novel methods to enable more efficient *omic analysis and apply carefully architected high-performance computing approaches to improve the utility of genomics in studies of human diseases, including infectious disease, cancer, and GI. Ongoing work includes genomic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2, MPXV, and antibiotic resistance; classification of pediatric leukemias and solid tumors in low-resource settings using nanopore transcriptome sequencing; and metagenomics/metataxonomics of mucosa-associated microbiota in inflammatory bowel diseases.

Nazockdast, Ehssan WEBSITE EMAIL PUBLICATIONS	PHD PROGRAM Applied Physical Sciences RESEARCH INTEREST Biomaterials, Biophysics, Cell Biology, Computational Biology	We are interested in the physics of soft and squishy materials, especially the organization and mechanics of living cellular materials. We use theory and simulation in close collaboration with experiments to understand the complex structural and mechanical behavior of these systems. These questions and our approach to them are interdisciplinary and intersect several traditional fields, including cell biology, biophysics, fluid dynamics and applied mathematics.
