Overview of Research and Education
In our laboratory, mathematical and statistical models are employed to work with experimental or field biologists in order to understand biological phenomena of interest, or quantitatively characterize data. Primary research target of our laboratory is to develop ecomics and ecomimetics. The former represents a type of research to investigate a given microbial community by integrating omics data on the basis of community ecology theories and methodologies. While the latter is motivated by biomimetics to represent a type of study to extract the essence of community assembly rules from existing microbial ecosystem to construct a new artificial microbial community. Other related topics in our laboratory include omics data analysis in precision medicine or the development of novel mathematical tools for data analysis in life sciences.
