Research Topic
Informatics and statistical modeling of genome dynamics
Research Description
Principal interests are stochastic modeling of genome dynamics, in particular in cancer progression, statistical and population genetics, biostatistics and bioinformatics. Examples of projects include:
� Interaction of genetic and environmental causes in genesis of lung cancer.
� Modeling metabolic pathways in airways inflammation.
� Analysis of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) data at cancer-related loci.
