Research information

Background

Genomic, transcriptomic and epigenomic ‘big data’ presents opportunities to learn about the properties of living systems and to treat diseases more successfully.  In order to address outstanding questions in biology and biomedicine, we use statistical genome analyses and machine learning methods to discover robust and biologically meaningful patterns.  We study omics data originating from human tumours (somatic mutations, transcriptomes), human populations (germline variation, epigenomes) and metagenomic data (including the human microbiome).

 

Research interests

In the GenomeDataLab, we study the mechanisms underlying maintenance of genome integrity mechanisms of maintaining genome integrity in human cells via statistical analyses of mutation patterns in cancer.  Next, we are interested in how mRNA synthesis and turnover pathways shape genomes and transcriptomes in health and disease.  Finally, we combine experimental work and genomics to scan cancer genomes for driver genes and for genetic interactions to predict tumour evolution and identify novel synthetic lethalities.  For more information, please see https://www.genomedatalab.org/research-interests

 

Research lines

  1. Genomics of DNA repair. We aim to understand mechanisms of maintaining genome integrity in human cells via statistical analyses of mutation patterns in cancer.  Read more >>>
  2. mRNA quality control. We are interested in how the pathways dealing with synthesis and turnover of mRNA shape genomes and transcriptomes, in health and disease.  Read more >>>
  3. Predicting cancer evolution. Combining experiment and genomics, we scan cancer genomes for causal genes and for genetic interactions to better understand tumor evolution.  Read more >>>
  4. Bioinformatics of gene function. From E. coli to human, the function of a substantial fraction of their genes is unknown; we think that machine learning approaches can help solve this.  Read more >>>
