Huber Lab

Mon, 09 Sep 2013 21:57:03 -0500

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 interactions by automated phenotyping, using image analysis, machine learning, sparse model building and causal inference.
DNA-, RNA- and ChIP-Seq and their applications to gene expression regulation: statistical and computational foundations.
Cancer genomics, genomes as biomarkers, cancer phylogeny.
Image analysis for systems biology: measuring the dynamics of cell cycle and of cell migration of individual cells under normal conditions and many different perturbations (RNAi, drugs).

Human Genome Meeting 2014, Geneva, Switzerland

Fri, 20 Sep 2013 12:36:44 -0500

The spectacular advances of the last few years resulted in the rapid analysis of the genome sequence of each individual. The biomedical world is now faced with the enormous challenges of assigning pathogenicity to each genomic variant, the functional analysis of the genome of each individual, and the accurate and detailed phenotypic characterization. Advances in these challenges are likely to fundamentally change the medical practice in a global scale.

This 2014 HUGO Meeting in Geneva will be a Forum for discussions on innovative approaches, and proposals to tackle the anticipated challenges.

Time : 27 April 2014 - 30 April 2014

For enquiries, please email hugo2014@mci-group.com or visit www.hugo-international.org

04- Informatics Approach to Cancer - Interview with Dr. Joel Saltz

Mon, 07 Oct 2013 14:35:43 -0500

For additional information visit http://www.cancerquest.org/joel-saltz-interview. Dr. Joel Saltz is a Professor in the Departments of Pathology, Biostatistics and Bioinformatics, and Mathematics and Computer Science at Emory University. Dr. Saltz's research on bioinformatics spans several disciplines. One project involves applying computer analysis to medical imaging to yield better results for patients. As an example, a computer program may able to help doctors detect small cancers in a CT scan or mammogram. In this interview segment, Dr. Saltz discusses the informatics approach to cancer.
