About the lab

My research spans computational cancer biology and bioinformatics methods development. My team develops novel mathematical, statistical and computational methods and applies these to make sense of cancer “omics” data. We particularly focus on rare cancers, melanoma, prostate cancer and myeloma, but also work on some other diseases.
