Jiri Vanicek

Jiri Vanicek's work includes the development of numerically efficient theoretical methods to describe quantum effects experimentally observed in enzymatic reactions. At the Institute, he has used statistical algorithms to predict genes regulated by herpesviral microRNAs, leading to a theoretical model of the mechanism of latency in herpesviruses. Together with Todd Riley, he has also extended methods to search for new signals encoded in the human genome.
