Dr. Gary D. Bader

Areas of Focus
Bioinformatics

Dr. Gary D. Bader works on biological network analysis and pathway information resources as an Assistant Professor at the Terrence Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research (CCBR) at the University of Toronto.

He recently completed post-doctoral work in the group of Chris Sander in the Computational Biology Center (cBio) at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.

Dr. Bader developed the Biomolecular Interaction Network Database (BIND) during his Ph.D. in the lab of Christopher Hogue in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Toronto and the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto. He completed a B.Sc. In Biochemistry at McGill University in Montreal.

At a glance

The Bader lab looks at predicting biological interactions.

The Bader lab aims to predict biological interactions in cells from genomic data and to better understand cellular systems and pathways.

Major research activities

The Bader lab aims to develop a computational cell map that organizes all biological processes and their component interactions and molecules. This map can then be read to understand how biological processes work, what the function of a gene is, and what effects disease-associated or engineered mutations have. Cell maps from different organisms or cell types can be compared to identify important components. Three research tracks and one software infrastructure track are actively developing to reach this goal.
