About
Hosna Jabbari is an Associate Professor of computational biology/bioinformatics in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (Cross Appointed) at the University of Alberta. She also serves as the Director of the Computational Biology Research and Analytics Laboratory (COBRA Lab). Dr. Jabbari earned her BSc in Computer Science from the University of Victoria and both her MSc and PhD in Computer Science - Bioinformatics from the University of British Columbia (Vancouver).
Her research focuses on uncovering the underlying mechanisms of human diseases through a transcriptomic perspective. Dr. Jabbari has a comprehensive background in predicting the complex structure of RNA and applying this knowledge to therapeutic developments. Her previous projects have included numerous RNA structure prediction studies and their functional characterization in cancer and other diseases, differential analysis of omics data, and the design of effective oligonucleotides for exon skipping. Currently, she is exploring RNA-RNA and RNA-protein interaction mechanisms and their implications for human diseases, as well as investigating the processes of aging.
Research
Our Mission: Help diagnose and cure human diseases by developing novel diagnostics and RNA therapeutics through research using techniques from bioinformatics, machine learning, data science and computational genomics.
Focus: RNA, transcriptomics, RNA-RNA interaction, RNA-protein interaction, RNA therapy, Understanding Aging process and disease progression are focus of our group, alongside explainable machine learning with applications in medicine.
Network: We have a large network of members and collaborators around the world.
