Research details

Research is concentrated on the application of Artificial Intelligence to the solution of scientific problems. For example, we have recently been using Genetic Algorithms in drug design and in Proteomics, Neural Networks in pollutant detection, Self-ordering maps in spectral and structural analysis (Figure, top right), Cellular Automata in the study of bacterial growth (Figure, right) and a variety of other methods.
