My interests lie in unravelling the complex genetic changes that occur in cancer at multiple levels, including small sequence mutations, copy number changes, rearrangements, and the resulting changes in gene expression. A start in molecular biology and genetics followed by bioinformatic training leads me to approach these issues through bioinformatic methods such as sequence analysis, database mining, and statistics. |
