​​My research interests are in the development and application of bioinformatics tools for clinical diagnosis. What used to be considered as a single diagnosis may actually consist of a number of different phenotypes with distinguished disease pathways and varying genomic and proteomics expression patterns. I am interested in deriving new mathematical and computational algorithms to identify such patterns for biomarker discovery and use them to establish predictive models for the diagnosis and management of diseases. Currently, our effort is focused on tumor marker discovery using high throughput proteomics approaches.
