Research Description
I use bioinformatic techniques and large scale data-integration to help understand the aetiology of cancer.
My core research interests include:
* Structural changes in the human genome and their contributions to disease
* Cancer - studying the evolutionary pressures driving tumorigenesis
* Systems biology - placing aberrations into a functional context
Other interests include:
* Open-source software for integrating, mining, and visualizing genomic data
* Teaching biologists how to leverage computational resources
* Utilizing Web 2.0 technologies to drive science communication and collaboration
