'We Explore Areas Where Much Remains Unknown'
Computational methods for analysing ancient and modern genomes make it possible to study the formation of genetic diversity in populations, reconstruct their history of mixing and migration, and trace the development of environmental adaptations. The HSE International Laboratory of Statistical and Computational Genomics applies mathematical methods and genetic data to address a wide range of issues across fields such as anthropology, epidemiology, and criminology. The HSE News Service spoke with the laboratory head, Vladimir Shchur, about its work.
Megascience, AI, and Supercomputers: HSE Expands Cooperation with JINR
Experts in computer technology from HSE University and the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) discussed collaboration and joint projects at a meeting held at the Meshcheryakov Laboratory of Information Technologies (MLIT). HSE University was represented by Lev Shchur, Head of the Laboratory for Computational Physics at the HSE Tikhonov Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics (HSE MIEM), as well as Denis Derkach and Fedor Ratnikov from the Laboratory of Methods for Big Data Analysis at the HSE Faculty of Computer Science.
