Statistical Bioinformatics

In the Statistical Bioinformatics Group, we develop robust data analysis solutions, including new or improved methods, for the analysis of genome-scale data. We develop statistical methods for interpreting data from high-throughput sequencing and other technologies in the context of genome sequencing, gene expression and regulation and analysis of epigenomes. We are largely data- and problem-driven, and ultimately the methods we develop are geared to the characteristics of the technology platform generating the data. We develop publicly available open-source software tools, generally through the Bioconductor project.
