Olivier Gevaert

Associate Professor of Medicine (Biomedical Informatics) and of Biomedical Data Science
Research Interests
My lab focuses on biomedical data fusion: the development of machine learning methods for biomedical decision support using multi-scale biomedical data. We primarily use methods based on regularized linear regression to accomplish this. We primarily focus on applications in oncology and neuroscience.

Quynh-Thu Le, MD, FACR, FASTRO

Katharine Dexter McCormick and Stanley McCormick Memorial Professor and Professor, by courtesy, of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery (OHNS)
Clinical Focus
Cancer > Head and Neck Cancer, Cancer > Radiation Oncology, Lung Cancer - Radiation Oncology, Salivary Gland Tumors - Radiation Oncology, Head and Neck Cancers - Radiation Oncology, Larynx Cancer - Radiation Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Oral Cavity Cancer - Radiation Oncology, Sarcomas - Soft Tissue - Radiation Oncology, Skull Base Tumors - Radiation Oncology
Research Interests
My laboratory focuses on identifying pathways and biomarkers of treatment resistance in head and neck cancer using clinical samples. We explore approaches to modulate these pathways through preclinical models (cell lines, organoids, tumor bearing mice) in order to develop precise strategies against these resistant mechanisms. At the same time, we are also studying pathways involved in treatment-related toxicity and develop strategies to prevent or overcome these toxicities.
