Panomics, unique individual factors, and data science in cancer related health outcomes
Research Interest
My area of expertise is in quantitative modeling and integrating human health data with heterogeneous panomic scale data using a translational bioinformatics toolset. I build and apply novel methods for analysis of data from novel high-throughput platforms to address new types of biological questions that these platforms enable. Moreover, as the Founding Director of the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) Program for Human Microbiome Research, which serves as a central hub for resources related to microbiome research on campus, I am developing novel approaches to launch and conduct population-scale microbiome studies as well as studies that characterize microbiomes in natural environments.
