Professor Denis Shields B.A.Mod., PhD.
Teaching Interests:
I am Director of the Bioinformatics and Computational Biomedicine PhD Programme (9 students enrolled commencing academic year 2007/2008)
I am currently planning an undergraduate module in bioinformatics aimed at third year students, which will be mainly practical
Modules Co-ordinated:
| 2010 CNWY40070 Conway Institute: Bioinformatics Research Sem |
| 2010 MEIN30240 Medical Informatics: Bioinformatics |
| 2009 COMP50050 Computer Science: Python Programming for Computa |
| 2008 CNWY50010 Conway Institute: Introductory Biology for Postgraduate Computational Biologists |
| 2008 COMP50020 Computer Science: Statistics, Mathematics and Bioinformatics in Computational Biology |
| 2008 COMP50030 Computer Science: Biodatabases and their Applications |
Recent Postgraduate Students:
Current PhD students are:
Norman Davey: discovery of short protein motifs
Ravindra Pushker: short motifs and other determinants of viral pathogenicity
Tiberiu Simu: Application of genetic programming and other methods in short protein motif discovery
Naisha Shah: Bioinformatics applied to the genetics of autism (copy number variation, and systems analysis)
Ilias Stavrapoulos: Bioinformatic prediction and experimental evaluation of short oligopeptides influencing epithelial to mesenchymal transition
Federica Lombardi: Hyper-aggregable platelets: computer prediction and analysis of short oligopeptides and other reagents involved in pathway interaction.
