Research
I am a computational biologist. My work is finding recurrent structure and signal in tumor genomes, and turning large public datasets into new biology.
Patterns in the cancer genome
Finding recurrent structure and signal that distinguish tumor genomes, and asking what those patterns mean.
Across cancers and models
Working on childhood cancers, adult cancers, and experimental cancer models side by side.
Mining public data
Enthusiastic about mining large public datasets to reach questions no single study can answer.
Aging & new methods
Also drawn to aging biology and to developing new computational methods for genomics.
Experience & Training
Publications
96 peer-reviewed papers since 2006, of which 27 were led from my lab as first or senior author.
Benchmarking mouse contamination removing protocols in patient-derived xenografts genomic profiling
Integrative multi-omics characterization of hepatocellular carcinoma in Hispanic patients
Genomic profiling of subcutaneous patient-derived xenografts reveals immune constraints on tumor evolution in childhood solid cancer
