An innovative, interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers who integrate multi-omics data, computational biology, software engineering, and data science approaches to drive understanding of disease pathology. By collaborating with clinicians, researchers, and patient foundations, we aim to develop and deliver methods for disease associated molecular variation detection and prioritization, biomarker discovery, and personalized treatment. The work we do is truly dedicated to improving patient outcomes by extracting diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment knowledge from patient data.
Research Areas
At CGDS, we help patients, families, and caregivers find answers by analyzing omic data with our computational tools and methods we develop and/or implement. We collaborate with clinicians from various fields to provide clear molecular insights. Our partnerships extend across numerous diseases, both rare and common including:
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), Ciliopathies, Cystic Fibrosis (CF), Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), Muscular Dystrophies (MD), Multiple Chorangioma Syndrome, Pediatric Thyroid Cancers (PTC), Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH), Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), Juxtaglomerular tumors, Glomus tumors, and Myopericytomas
