RESEARCH SUMMARY

The mission of the Oncogenomics Section is to harness the power of high-throughput genomics, proteomics, machine learning, and bioinformatics to improve the outcomes of children with high-risk metastatic, refractory, and recurrent cancers. The research goals are to integrate the data, decipher the biology of these cancers, identify and validate biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets, and rapidly translate our findings to the clinic.

Areas of Expertise
