A lab that interprets big data in life science through mathematical models.

AboutAbout the lab
Drawing out the mechanisms of life from data.
The Computational Biology Lab, part of the mathematical analysis division of the Institute for Glyco-core Research, studies methods for mathematically analyzing large-scale data in life science.
Advances in next-generation sequencing, mass spectrometry, imaging, and sensing technologies are producing large amounts of diverse data.
Associate Professor Matsui's mission is to use such data to develop methods for revealing the mechanisms of previously unknown living systems.
The Institute for Glyco-core Research is an international institute that aims to understand the essence (core) of life by studying glycans, and brings together researchers from Gifu University and Nagoya University.
Key terms
- Glycan
- A molecule that covers the surface of every cell and controls communication between the cell and the outside world.
- Mathematical modeling
- A method of representing phenomena with mathematical equations and statistical concepts in order to reveal how living systems work from data.
