The Raes Lab
Bioinformatics and (Eco)-Systems Biology
Human microbiome
The Raes Lab combines large-scale, next-generation sequencing with novel computational approaches to investigate the functioning and variability of the healthy human microbiome at the systems level and study its alteration in disease.
Bioinformatics
We focus on the development of computational methods for the analysis of (next-generation) sequence data and the investigation of community properties from metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and meta-metabolomics data, which are applied in a wide range of environments (gut , ocean, etc.).
Ocean microbiome
In the framework of the Tara Oceans Project, we studied the interactions between planktonic organisms to show how important the ocean is for life on our planet
