We develop new tools to understand diverse types of biological datasets.

A common theme is working to couple the architecture of computational analysis with the understanding of the generative process behind a biological dataset, so that each gives insight into the other. We work on a variety of genomics problems ranging from multi-omics analysis to evolution.

Our collaborations leverage our strong biomedical community

Current collaborators include:

• Nathan Clark Group, Department of Computational and Systems Biology
  Current project: RERconverge method for connecting evolutionary forces with phenotypes.
• Mark Shlomchik Group, Department of Immunology
  Current project: Understanding memory B-cell subtypes through multiomics analysis.
• Dario Vignali's Group, Department of Immunology
  Current project: Tumor immunology in model systems.
• Hassane Zarour's Group, UPMC Hillman Cancer Institute
  Current project: Translational tumor immunology
• Paul Monga's Group, Department of Pathology
  Current project: Liver disease models.
