Welcome to the {Plant} Bioinformatics Lab. We are part of the
Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Science at the
Aberystwyth University.
Our research interests relate
to a number of areas within Bioinformatics. We have a long-standing interest in protein structure prediction and
structure-to-function relationship. We work in the study of biomolecular interactions, modeling of protein complexes,
modulation of protein-protein interactions as therapeutic targets and structure-based protein design.
Recently we have moved to Plant Bioinformatics to develop bioinformatics-based approaches to complement, guide and improve
plant-breeding programs and to understand the underlying biological mechanisms liked to the response to abiotic stresses.
We are also interested in the modelling of genetic variation, e.g. SNPs, and the assessment of functional impact at protein level.
