Research Goals

We are interested in elucidating tumor evolutionary dynamics, novel therapeutic targets, and the genotype to phenotype map in cancer. A unifying theme of our research is to exploit ‘omic’ data derived from clinically annotated samples in robust computational frameworks coupled with iterative experimental validation in order to advance our understanding of cancer systems biology. In particular, we employ advanced genomic techniques, computational and mathematical modeling, and powerful model systems in order to:

1) Quantify and forecast tumor evolutionary dynamics

2) Define the genotype to phenotype map of malignancy

3) Develop robust biomarkers to inform treatment decision making
