Jarek Meller, PhD
Associate Professor of Environmental Health
Jarek Meller and his group are actively involved in the development of machine and statistical learning-based methods for functional genomics, structural bioinformatics and system biology. These efforts resulted in the development of accurate methods for the prediction of the extent of solvent exposure of amino acid residues in proteins (SABLE, 2007 Ohio Cyber-infrastructure Award), enhanced recognition of protein-protein interaction sites (SPPIDER), novel methods for the recognition of protein-lipid interfaces (MINNOU), new tools for functional and structural annotation of proteins and their complexes (POLYVIEW-3D), and tools for the assessment of genome rearrangments (CINTENY). These methods are available to the community as web servers, and are being used by researchers all over the world: to date there were more than 250,000 submissions from over 20,000 users in 80 different countries. In addition, the development and availability of such state-of-the-art genomic and system biology resources provides unique training opportunities for our trainees in the bioinformatics branch of the Ph.D. program in Biomedical Engineering.
