Research interests

I am interested in computational approaches for predicting how genes function and discovering how their functions are regulated and modulated to produce orchestrated cellular responses.  I am particularly interested in approaches that combine genome-wide functional data across multiple organisms to identify conserved mechanisms of gene activity and to understand how genetic networks evolve.

  • Discovering conserved genetic modules from gene expression data across multiple organisms. Work with Stuart Kim in the Developmental Biology and Genetics.
  • Discovering new members of genetic pathways. With Art Owen in Statistics at Stanford and Stuart Kim.
  • Discovering tissue-specific splice forms in human and mouse from DNA microarray data. With Manny Ares in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology.
  • Developing a database for gene expression studies on alternative splicing. With Manny Ares in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology.
