Area of Interest
The Genome Informatics Group works on the analysis of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data and its research and clinical applications, particularly with respect to cancer. Cancer is increasingly being viewed as a disease where the tissue of origin is less important therapeutically than the unique spectrum of mutations found in the individual patient’s tumour.
