Research interest:

Until 2000 I was working on the semantics of programming languages, program verification, types for programming, type inferrence, dynamic logic and intuitionistic type theory.

Since 2000 I am interested in bioinformatics and computational biology. In particular, currently I work on cis-regulatory module prediction in promoters of eucaryotic genes, analysis of promoter regions, comparative genomics. I also work on the analysis of protein-protein interaction networks, with emphasis on data integration, and prediction of interactions from comparative studies. I am also interested in evolution of bacteriophages.

In the past I was working on protein structure prediction, on inference of gene regulatory networks, on reconciliation of gene trees with a species tree, and on inferring phylogeny from the information of the whole genome.
