The Goecks Laboratory Computational Infrastructure and Machine Learning for Cancer Research

Research

Our research is focused on two broad and complementary areas of research. First, we develop computational infrastructure and machine learning approaches for large-scale biomedical data science. Second, we use data science methods to advance precision cancer treatment by analyzing molecular datasets to predict tumor response to therapy and mechanisms of resistance.
