Ismail, Ph.D., computational biologist, bioinformatician, and member of the National Association of Science Writers (NASW), announces the upcoming release of his new scholarly book, Bioinformatics of Autoimmune Diseases, published by Taylor & Francis. The book will be released in early 2026 and is now available for preview and pre-order.
Bioinformatics of Autoimmune Diseases provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary examination of how modern bioinformatics and computational biology approaches are transforming the study of autoimmune disorders. The book integrates foundational immunology with advanced data-driven methodologies, offering readers both conceptual understanding and practical computational frameworks.
Designed for graduate students, researchers, clinicians, and practitioners, the book covers the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying autoimmune diseases while guiding readers through real-world applications of high-throughput data analysis. Topics include genomic variation analysis, RNA-Seq, epigenomics, chromatin accessibility (ATAC-seq), microbiome profiling, and integrative multi-omics approaches, with an emphasis on reproducible workflows and Python-based analysis pipelines.
Drawing on Dr. Ismail’s extensive experience in bioinformatics, high-performance computing, and interdisciplinary research, the book bridges the gap between biological theory and computational implementation. Its clear structure makes it suitable both as a graduate-level textbook and as a reference for active researchers working at the intersection of immunology and data science.
“As autoimmune diseases continue to pose major challenges in diagnosis, treatment, and precision medicine, bioinformatics has become indispensable for uncovering their underlying complexity,” said Dr. Ismail. “This book aims to equip scientists with the computational tools and biological insight needed to translate large-scale data into meaningful discoveries.”
