Molecular biology has undergone a revolution due to the ability to simultaneously study the functioning and expression of thousands of genes and proteins in the patient's body. Thanks to the use of computer technology, databases and statistical analysis we can analyze with precision and speed, large amounts of data that allow us to understand the complexity of the mechanisms that cause diseases.

The advent of high-throughput technologies in life sciences carried revolutionary milestones in data access, management, and analysis. It also implied the development of new methodological approaches to mine these large datasets. Medicine is currently following this path with the advent of its own big data subdiscipline, namely digital medicine, where data mining through machine learning techniques constitutes its core toolkit.

The Computational Biology group has long term experience in the development of optimization algorithms and statistical analysis. Our expertise is specifically focused in machine and deep learning with applications in human health and disease through data of high molecular resolution (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metalobolomics,...) and biological databases (genomics, pharmacology, metabolism,...).

The Computational Biology Program at the CIMA - University of Navarra currently has these lines of research:
• Analysis of transcriptomic data, both at bulk and at single cell resolution.
• Development of new file formats for storage and access to omics data.
• Machine learning methods for biomedical problems and their translation to the clinic

Medicine is currently following this path with the advent of its own big data subdiscipline, namely digital medicine, where data mining through machine learning techniques constitutes its core toolkit.
The main lines of research are:
-
Accurate predictions in health care problems when confronted with uncertainty.
-
Develop fair AI-based algorithms to combine the classical models of human physiology with observations and real-time personalized data.
-
Translational research bridging theoretical approaches and practical applications in biomedical domains.
