Computational Biology and Bioinformatics

Use foundation models and public MPRA data to predict promoter strength in millet and teff, and build your own genomics analysis pipeline.

Build a text-mining project that spots medication clusters in FAERS narratives and tests how well an LLM flags elderly polypharmacy risk.

Model migraine wave spread on a brain mesh, test magnesium and CGRP effects, and build skills in simulation, parameter sweeps, and validation.

Build a stochastic model to compare CRISPR on-target and off-target binding, then test how guide design changes predicted specificity.

Model phage-host coevolution in Python or Avida, compare kill-the-winner and Red Queen dynamics, and build simulation and analysis skills.

Build a policy search model that balances cases, learning loss, and equity while you test school closure, masking, and testing strategies.

Build a nowcasting model that combines wastewater and school-absence data to predict pediatric ER surges, and practice real epidemiology analytics.

Build and test an LLM agent that writes RNA-seq pipelines, then compare its reproducibility and accuracy against gold-standard workflows.

Build a variant-effect prediction pipeline for autism regulatory DNA using epigenomic tracks, embeddings, and classifier evaluation.

Build a PBPK model to compare pediatric and adult metformin dosing, test allometric assumptions, and analyze exposure, safety, and adverse events.
