Funded Activity Summary
Evolutionary algorithms for problems in functional genomics data analysis. Skin cancer has a high incidence in the Australian population. Schizophrenia is a psychiatric disorder that affects a significant proportion of the population worldwide. Both illnesses have genetic roots and can be triggered by environmental factors. We will uncover genetic relationship to disease and their responses to environmental conditions using computational methods and mathematical algorithms that can aid in the determination of function, especially in disease states. Understanding the complex genetic interactions that trigger these illnesses would give great benefits in preventive health care, skin cancer and schizophrenia genetic basis, and may lay the ground for building new methods for "personalized medicine".Funded Activity Details
