Molecular epidemiology through computational genomics
We are a team of researchers in the Department of Epidemiology and the Institute for Data Science in Oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center. We study the biological mechanisms behind cancer risk and outcomes and developmental phenotypes, building fully open computational tools to analyze large genetic, functional genomic, and clinical datasets through international collaborations.
What we do
Genomics + data science → biological mechanisms
We use statistical and epidemiological principles to develop and apply computational genomics tools to understand the biology underlying cancer and human development. We prioritize transparency, rigor, and reproducibility and value interdisciplinary collaboration and creativity.
Computational tools for genetics and functional genomics
Our goals are two-fold: (1) ask and answer important questions about cancer and human development and (2) develop computational tools to help us explore these questions in large genetic and molecular datasets. Our software will always be open-source and our analyses reproducible.
Our growing team
Meet our team that’s committed to learning and growing in a healthy, collaborative environment. We’re looking for epidemiologists, statisticians, data scientists, biologists, and clinician-scientists at all levels. Located conveniently near Helix Park and the TMC3 Collaborative Building, our group embraces collaboration within the Cancer Prevention & Population Sciences Division and other departments and institutions.
