Our Purpose

The purpose of establishment of the Health and Bioinformatics Lab is to move forward the SUNY Poly strategic plan in advancing health sciences and bioinformatics. The Lab’s mission is to interact with internal and external biologists and other scientists and assist them in computational data processing and interpretation of their experiments. The unique advantage the in-house lab brings to the school and external actors is maintained interaction with scientists rather than offering a one-time service. The lab also aims to train graduate students in bioinformatics skills positioning them for success in this area. Finally, the establishment of this lab will contribute to future initiatives in setting up a Bioinformatics Graduate Program at SUNY Poly.

Molecular Structure Analyses

Biomolecular systems are essential to applications in medicine, biotechnology, and therapeutics in general. Research facilities equipped with state of the art instrumentation involving Bimolecular Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Crystallization, Mass Spectrometry (MS), or cryogenic-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) have the power to push the limits of science and technology in exploring molecular structures. Design and analysis of molecular structures such as a protein or a nucleic acid, namely DNA or RNA, is dependent of data that resides in these facilities and suitable computational analyses. This knowledge is at the intersection of physics, chemistry, engineering, and computer science.
