Alex Szalay, a leader in big data, cosmology and astronomy, is applying his expertise in computing to build AstroPath, an imaging system that collects and analyzes huge amounts of cancer image data to map cancer cells.
@RongLiLab studies the cell biology of motility, division, aging, aneuploidy and cancer.
@YuilleAlan is adapting his computer vision research to develop algorithms that can detect cancer in the pancreas.
@nilanjan10c analyzes data on both genetic and environmental factors to study complex health problems, most notably cancer.
@TheFeinbergLab Andy Feinberg contributes his expertise in epigenetics to cutting edge research in cancer and applies these concepts to understand the role of epigenetics in all aspects of human disease.
@mike_schatz uses innovative biotechnologies and computational tools to study the sequence and function of genomes are advancing the understanding of the structure, evolution, and function of genomes for medicine – particularly for cancer and other human disease.
Carl Wu’s research is dedicated to the understanding of chromatin, which has a key role in regulating essentially all chromosome activities and is causally linked in gene misregulation in many diseases, including cancer.
@OtisBrawley is a globally-recognized expert in cancer prevention and control. He has worked to reduce overscreening of medical conditions (incl. cancer), which revolutionized patient treatment and reduce health disparities.
@AshaniTW is a groundbreaking researcher studying the molecular mechanisms involved in cancer metastasis and how a tumor's microenvironment affects melanoma progression and therapy resistance.
