Computational Biomedicine Research: My mission is to understand the (epi)genome biology and its impact on cancer and other diseases using computational multi-omics approaches. Such methods rely on the statistical analysis and integration of large-scale data (high-throughput sequencing, microarrays, proteomics, high-throughput screening) and clinical/phenotypic data. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Computational Biology/Bioinformatics Training: I would like to boost the computational biology field, which is rapidly evolving both in terms of breadth of scope of applications and depth of what can be accomplished. However, there is a big demand for bioinformatics skills in research. I have been disseminating such specialized knowledge by teaching MSc courses, training MSc and PhD students, and promoting dedicated seminars among young and senior researchers.
