RESEARCH SUMMARY

Benedict Anchang’s research interests include modelling, integrating and optimizing spontaneous or induced effects associated with complex adverse biological processes, such as cancer or toxicity. These studies are done in human and non-human systems at a multi- and nested-scale level using single-cell analysis, with personalized medicine as a desired goal. 

Dr. Anchang is a Stadtman Investigator in the Biostatistics and Computational Biology Branch at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) in Research Triangle Park, NC. He also holds a joint appointment with the Cancer Data Science Laboratory.
