The Walker lab uses machine learning and statistics to solve difficult problems in chemical biology. We build our machine learning models based on the wealth of available sequences and structures of biomolecules. After a machine learning model is developed, we experimentally verify our computational predictions and use experimental data to further optimize our models.
