The Chang lab is focused on how the activities of hundreds or even thousands of genes (gene parties) are coordinated to achieve biological meaning. We have pioneered methods to predict, dissect, and control large-scale gene regulatory programs;...
Complex networks and network mining: developing graph theoretic, mathematical, and computational algorithms for efficient extraction of function from topology of complex real-world networks, such as biological, social, and technological...
The Huber group develops computational and statistical methods to design and analyse novel experimental approaches in genetics and cell biology.
Future projects and goals
Large-scale systematic maps of gene-gene and gene-environment...
Scientific Interests:
Models and software for predicting who is at risk of carrying genetic variants that confer susceptibility to cancer. Application to breast, ovarian, colorectal, pancreatic and skin cancer.
Statistical methods for the...
Broad Area of Research: RNA biology (microRNA, lncRNA), Stem cells, Functional genomics, Epigenomics and Cancer
RNAs, especially non-coding RNAs (such as microRNA, long ncRNAs) are recently identified to be very abundant in mammalian organisms...
Mike Ritchie Lab primary research focus is the detection of susceptibility genes for common diseases such as cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease, among others. The approaches will involve the development and application of new...
