Alumni
This person is a member of Sanger Institute Alumni.
My main aim is to use and develop computational approaches to analyse and interpret cancer genomes. I am interested in identifying somatic mutations, driver genes and in understanding the biological mechanisms underlying mutational processes.
I have previously implemented computational methods to identify cancer driver genes and putative cancer predisposing genes. In addition, I have contributed to the identification of genes essential for tumour growth by using in vivo genetic screens of patient-derived tumours. As a postdoctoral fellow, I developed systems biology approaches to integrate -omics data to identify active pathways and to study regulatory networks in neurodegenerative disorders.
