About Us
Kolker Lab
Our lab primarily focuses on bioinformatics, health informatics and integrative analyses. We use high-throughput technologies to examine and model molecular mechanisms of biological processes.
The Kolker Lab at the Seattle Children's Research Institute uses approaches such as genome-wide gene, protein, and metabolite expression, complemented with mutagenesis, biochemical, and physiological experiments. Integration and analysis of these multivariate data will be implemented through comprehensive computations, including bioinformatics, statistics, and mathematical modeling. The deeper knowledge of cellular behavior and responses will enable the researches at the Kolker Lab to develop improvements to human health and address environmental concerns.
