AboutAbout the lab
Understanding and tackling cancer through genome evolution
The Cancer Genome Informatics Lab focuses its research on cancer genome analysis and gut microbiota analysis.
It sets out to understand and take on cancer from the perspective of genome evolution.
The lab's website presents research results on cancers such as pancreatic cancer and colorectal cancer.
The professor has stated a wish to engage in education, research, and cancer genomic medicine with a small, elite team of colleagues who share the same aspirations.
Key terms
- Genome analysis
- Reading and examining the entirety of an organism's genetic information (the genome).
- Gut microbiota
- A community of many types of bacteria living in the intestines.
