Multiple representations of sequences include simple motif consensus sequence patterns, parametric representations, probabilistic techniques, graph theoretic approaches, and computer simulations. Much of the work consists of developing a new representation of a structure or a function of a macromolecule, applying the methods of machine learning to this representation, and then evaluating the accuracy of the method.

He has been involved in a number of research projects involving clinical informatics, including work on computer-based clinical-decision support, network-based clinical information access, informatics in support of clinical research, and work as part of the Next Generation Internet initiative. He collaborates with several colleagues at Yale doing neuroinformatics research as part of the national Human Brain Project.

He has developed a user-friendly graphical ad hoc query interface that enables computational biologists to quickly learn and examine public genome database schemata and produce semantically correct SQL queries graphically. He has also been developing a graphical data-flow editor that computational biologists can use to integrate a series of data analysis and database querying activities into one seamless data flow.
