Computational Health Informatics

At Manchester in the Machine Learning Group, we are becoming interested in an emerging field, which we have dubbed "computational health informatics". The field arises from the ready availability techniques like SNP genotyping. Which lead to a characterisation of an individual's genetic profile. By combining this with environmental factors and disease outcomes, as well as array expression experiments, we hope to uncover the complex causal factors behind disease. To do this we make use of machine learning and statistical techniques.

We are collaborating with Iain Buchan at NIBHI.
