Research Interests:
My research focuses on applying a computational mindset to molecular biology problems with the aim of advancing our understanding of human health and disease. Research in my group includes projects on understanding and characterizing gene networks; translational medicine and clinical pharmacogenomics (particularly as applied to human development); and integrating gene expression data with other genomic information sources to better understand the molecular mechanisms of life. Recent projects in my lab have relied upon computational expertise in machine learning, algorithm design, graph theory, text mining, statistics, and randomized algorithms.
