About

Our research includes developing new methods to analyse complex biomedical data as well as applying computational methods to discover fundamental processes in human health and disease.

We work closely with other research divisions at the Institute, and with national and international partners to tackle some of the most pressing problems in biomedical research, including:

  • the causes and origin of cancer
  • the function of the human immune system
  • the ways in which patients respond to treatment

The amount of research data now being generated to address these problems is so large that the methods being developed and employed in our division are essential for answering critical questions in medical research.
