A new study finds strong evidence that bacteria can transfer genes into human genomes, especially in cancer cells.

Researchers discover the genetic imprints and signatures left by DNA-damaging processes that lead to cancer.

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...
