Division of Biocomputing :: HSC School of Medicine
The Division of Biocomputing is a division of Biochemistry
and Molecular Biology (BMB) responsible for informatics
and computing support for genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics and
in assessing the effects of existing or virtual compounds on pharmacokinetics and
pharmacodynamics at the molecular and cellular level. The Division of Biocomputing
aims to develop state-of-the-art capabilities in the analysis
of microchip gene arrays, 2D gel electrophoresis, X-ray and NMR data, as
well as virtual and high-throughput screening data, and to assist Health
Sciences Center scientists in transforming these data into information and
knowledge, via statistical analysis and data mining techniques.

NIH grant awarded for bioactivity data integration system "CARLSBAD" (December 2010): The Division of Biocomputing (P.I., Tudor Oprea) has been awarded a two‑year R21 grant for development of a database system integrating multiple bioactivity datasets to provide biomedical scientists with new ways to mine and explore available SAR (structure‑activity relationships) throughout chemical biology space. The new database, CARLSBAD (Confederated Annotated Research Libraries of Small molecule BioActivity Data) will integrate PubChem, ChEMBL, PDSP, IUPHARDb and other datasets in a unified schema. Novel cheminformatics and pattern recognition algorithms will be implemented and deployed for use by domain scientists in convenient, robust, and interoperable ways, including the powerful biological network visualization environment Cytoscape.
