Genomics Lab

Director: Anna Joy

Genomics Lab offers Illumina sequencing by synthesis. It is equipped to isolate, quantitate, evaluate quality of nucleic acid preparations and prepare libraries for sequencing using a workflow that minimizes contamination. The Illumina sequencer is covered under an annually renewed PROD Care NSQ 550 Comprehensive service contract through Illumina. In addition, we also have resources specifically dedicated to the handling and...

Joy Lab

Director: Anna Joy

This lab is dedicated to understanding mechanisms of tumorigenesis and progression in Glioblastoma brain tumors for discovery of novel drug targets and treatment biomarkers. The ultimate goal is to improve survival of this most common and deadly intracranial brain tumor.

Machine Intelligence Biology Lab

Director: Xishuang Dong

The Machine Intelligence Biology Lab is one part of the Center for Computational Systems Biology at Prairie View A&M University. The main task of this lab will focus on computational biology, which is to use existing tools or develop novel methods to speed up the procedure of genetic data analysis or enhance the analysis performance. It involves two subtasks: 1....
