Prof. Nir Friedman

 

Prof. Friedman's research deals with three related fields

  • Molecular Biology of Chromatin and Transcriptional Regulation: Understanding how cells regulate transcription, interaction between chromatin and transcription, and gene expression.
  • Computational Systems Biology: Applying probabilistic models to understand biological systems and to analyze high-throughput data collected from biological sources.
  • Inference and learning in probabilistic models: Representation, inference, and learning with probabilistic graphical models (Bayesian networks and Markov networks).
