About

If you don’t work on important problems, it’s not likely that you’ll do important work. — Richard Hamming

The Anderson Lab develops algorithms and software to tackle some of the most challenging and interesting data intensive problems in the life sciences. Our research interests include pattern analysis in high-dimensionality data sets, evolutionary computation and optimization, machine learning, data science, computational genomics, cloud computing, computational metabolomics, and eScience. We currently have multidisciplinary projects underway in metabolomics, human cognition, toxicology, marine biology, and medical genomics.

The Anderson Lab actually consists of several research groups:
 * Bioinformatics Research Group (BiRG),
 * Charleston Computational Genomics Group (C2G2),
 * Computational Metabolomics Group (CMG), and
 * Data Science Research Group (DSRG)

Director: Dr. Paul Anderson

Research Group Meeting Schedule
Meetings will be held weekly each semester and are open to anyone with an interest in data science and bioinformatics. The meetings have two main goals:
 * 1) to explore topics of interest to the group and
 * 2) discuss specific research opportunities and the status of ongoing projects (Opportunities)
