Other Groups at CABM

CABM Bioinformatics Program

A number of groups at CABM take a quantitative approach to understanding biology. The CABM Bioinformatics Program aims to support the research and education missions of CABM and RBHS by providing training workshops and consulting services for topics relevant to large scale data analysis (e.g. multi-omics), high performance computing, biostatistics, and best practices in the collaborative development and maintenance of open-source software tools for biological data analysis and model simulation.

Gut Brain Axis Working Group

Gut-brain research covers multiple diseases that are prevalent (like autism spectrum disorder, irritable bowel syndrome, Parkinson’s disease) but that are difficult to study and treat due to the involvement of multiple organs (the gut and brain). Constant research into these diseases and the connections that exist between the gut and brain are needed to produce therapeutics for such diseases. Our Working Group will promote gut-brain research by

  • Providing a venue at Rutgers to discuss gut-brain axis research
  • Providing networking opportunities among trainees and research faculty
  • Providing funding for trainees to present their work at a national or international conference
