Cancer-Focused Research
The Yang Lab is interested in the integrative analysis of large-scale datasets to understand the initiation and progression of diseases. The research projects involve in the development of highly accurate and sensitive computational methods for analyzing multidimensional omics data, especially in the area of detecting and analyzing genetic and transcriptomic alterations using second and third generation sequencing data. The long-term goal is to elucidate the genetic mechanisms of human cancers. Example projects span from technique-driven research that aims to develop algorithms for a wide range of applications to hypothesis-driven investigation of specific biological problems to fill the knowledge gap for a deeper understanding of biological systems.
