Research

We have a lively and rapidly expanding research program in cheminformatics with an emphasis on multidisciplinary collaboration and tackling the big challenges of cheminformatics. M.S. and Ph.D. students have the chance to be actively involved in our research from the start. Research areas include integration of cheminformatics and bioinformatics; cyberinfrastructure, the semantic web, and Web 2.0 for cheminformatics; advanced predictive models, chemical spaces and data mining; designing the informatics-based chemistry lab of the future; and high throughput computational chemistry. Along with Indiana's Community Grids Labs, we have recently been funded by the NIH to be one of six Exploratory Centers for Cheminformatics Research: for more information on this see the center ChemBioGrid website.
