Our research group focuses on developing computational approaches to analyze high-throughput drug and genetic screens, along with multi-omics datasets, to study the fundamental regulatory mechanisms underlying cancer cell response to treatments. Working closely with experimental and clinical groups, we develop integrative approaches to address one of the most pressing challenges in cancer: drug resistance.
We aim to develop the next generation of multidisciplinary engineers who can bridge the fields of computer science, cell biology, and biomedicine.
