Research Interest

Bioinformatics draws on computer science, math and statistics to enable discoveries in emerging molecular biology data. Mikael Bodén’s research aims to develop, investigate and apply bioinformatics methodologies to understand and resolve a range of open problems in genomics, molecular and systems biology. Recent applications involve protein sorting, nuclear protein organization, mechanisms of transcriptional regulation, sequence and structure determinants of protein function and modification, and protein engineering. His group has developed a number of prediction servers available at http://bioinf.scmb.uq.edu.au.
