Research Interests:
Our research applies advanced bioinformatics, data science, and machine learning/artificial intelligence approaches to analyze and integrate complex multi-omics data from human populations to identify novel and causal genes and multilayer biomarkers underlying cancer and other complex diseases. Our work spans genome-, methylome-, transcriptome-, proteome-, metabolome-, microbiome-, and glycome-scale datasets, incorporating Mendelian randomization and other causal inference methods. By utilizing large population-based cohorts and national and international consortia, our research advances mechanistic understanding of disease etiology and informs precision prevention, early detection, and therapeutic strategies.
Service:
Our Bioinformatics Core provides a comprehensive suite of services that establishes and maintains a robust computational infrastructure to support advanced data-driven research. We offer expertise in experimental design, AI- and machine-learning–based analytics, next-generation sequencing, proteomics, metabolomics, imaging informatics, statistical genomics, and integrative multi-omics analyses. Through free consultations, collaborative project support, grant development assistance, secure data management solutions, and customized computational pipelines, we empower investigators to efficiently generate, analyze, and translate complex biological datasets into rigorous and impactful scientific discoveries.
