About

Professor of Medicine & Co-Director of Cancer Bioinformatics

My focus is on bioinformatics analysis of molecular profiling data, which may include mRNA expression, microRNA expression, protein expression, DNA methylation, or DNA copy number. Fundamentally, my work seeks to obtain meaningful information from large scale molecular datasets regarding questions relevant to improving cancer diagnosis and treatment. This often involves integration of molecular profiling results from different sources. Among other things, I have participated extensively in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG) consortiums, multi-institutional efforts to systematically characterize the genomic changes that occur in cancer.

Defining the Global Impact of Somatic Structural Variation on the Transcriptome of Human Pediatric Brain Cancers…

Somatic structural variants (SSVs) are mutations arising in tumors that involve large segments of DNA. Using data from the Pediatric Brain Tumor Atlas, researchers will identify SSV patterns in pediatric cancer types that could lead to new therapies.
