Dong Xu
Research Interests Dr. Xu’s lab focuses on the interface between bioinformatics and deep learning. It works on development of novel computational methods, algorithms, software and information systems, as well as on broad applications of these tools and other informatics resources for various biological and medical problems. Several successful applications of deep learning by the lab in bioinformatics span areas such as single-cell data analysis, protein structure prediction, protein language models, protein localization prediction, predicting sites of protein post-translational modifications, elucidating genotype-phenotype associations, understanding biological pathways through image analysis in published literature, and analyzing tongue images for health evaluations.

Research Interests Vaccines are perhaps the greatest public health achievement of our lifetime. They have prevented millions of deaths from childhood and adult diseases to the point that some pathogens have almost been eradicated. Unfortunately, there is much work that still needs to be done to develop more vaccines that can be delivered intranasally and thus prevent some of the vaccine hesitancy exhibited throughout the world. Furthermore, many vaccines can be formulated to be therapeutic and can thus treat a person and vaccinate in one motion, which aids in compliance to the vaccine schedule. The Picking lab aims to…
Susie Dai
Research Interests The Dai lab integrates chemistry and biology to advance biosynthesis, bioremediation, and resource recovery. Current research focuses on: Integrate chemical catalysis (i.e., electrocatalysis) with synthetic biology to produce platform chemicals Develop chem/bio hybrid materials to empower microbiology for pollutant removal and resource recovery…
