Research Interests:

I study Bioinformatics and Comparative Genomics in Dr. Aleksandar Milosavljevic's Bioinformatics Research Laboratory at Baylor College of Medicine.  I'm using bioinformatic techniques to construct pipelines for the analysis and integration of large-scale genomic data.  We use this system to identify recurrent genetic abnormalities in cancer genomes and other pools of patients with genetic disorders.  Hypothesis-generation algorithms can then be applied to predict which mutations are likely to be causative of the disease phenotype.  Ultimately, systems like this will lead to a better understanding of genetic disorders, including cancer, and will help inform approaches in personalized medicine.
