Research

Cal Poly has diverse and exciting research in bioinformatics ranging from foundational algorithm development to applied bioinformatics directed towards pushing the boundaries of science. Beginning in Fall 2020, we are excited to stand up the Bioinformatics with Applied Data Science Core (BADS Core) as part of the Center for Applied Biotechnology (https://cab.calpoly.edu).

Bioinformatics and Applied Data Science Core

The Bioinformatics and Applied Data Science Core at Cal Poly (BADS Core), directed by Dr. Paul Anderson and Dr. Jean Davidson, maintains a cloud-based computational research laboratory with bioinformatics and data science pipelines. The cloud infrastructure is supported in partnership with the Cal Poly DxHUB. The BADS Core provides informatics and applied data science support for the biological sciences as an extension of the Center for Applications in Biotechnology, which houses state of the art labs and research space. The core supports a wide range of data-driven analyses including but not limited to genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics.
