Research Interests |
Dr. Sarkar's work is dedicated to furthering a biomedical informatics research agenda across the entire spectrum of biomedicine, from molecules to populations. His specific research involves the development and use of a range of computational techniques (including knowledge gathering and discovery methods, phylogenetics, information theory, ontology development, semantic indexing, information retrieval, and natural language processing) to facilitate the analysis and linking of molecular and public health data. Ultimately, Dr. Sarkar's research aims to enable the creation of testable models of disease and provide a framework to enable the assessment of comparative hypotheses across the spectrum of biomedicine and health care. |
