Patrik D'haeseleer, Ph.D.

I am currently was a postdoc in the Lipper Center for Computational Genetics, part of the Church lab at Harvard Medical School. My research focuses on genomics / bioinformatics / computational biology / systems biology, particularly the analysis of genomic and proteomic data. As many genomics problems involve complex networks of interacting components, much of my research deals with analysis, reconstruction and modeling of regulatory networks, metabolic networks, protein interaction networks and signal transduction pathways. I approach these challenges with a blend of computational modeling, theoretical and statistical analysis, and a systems-level perspective. Here are some ongoing research topics:

• Genetic regulatory networks
• Metabolic networks
• Networks of protein-protein interactions
• Automated Modelling of Signal Transduction Networks
• Small world networks in biology
• Bi-weekly Networks Discussion Group (currently on hold)

Although these days I prefer to think of myself as a computational biologist, in my previous incarnations I have also obtained two separate degrees in Electrical Engineering in Belgium, an MS in Computer Science at Stanford, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of New Mexico.
