Cancer Research and Neuroscience

Oncinfo is a research lab at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. The focus of our projects is on bioinformatics and computational biology. We develop and apply sophisticated machine learning algorithms to analyze large biological, or clinical, data sets. From these complex data sets, our goal is to infer useful information which provides insight into biology or leads to clinical applications. Oncinfo contributes to neuroscience through collaboration with The Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer's & Neurodegenerative Diseases. Also, several cancer research projects are defined in collaboration with the Department of Cell Systems and Anatomy. Our external collaboration includes the British Columbia Cancer Agency, which has a great research reputation in oncology around the world. Oncinfo welcomes further collaborators from related disciplines such as medicine, molecular and cellular biology, pharmacology, computer science, and statistics. We are particularly interested in collaboration with R&D departments of top pharmaceutical companies.

Related Diseases: Cancer, Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders

Techniques: Machine learning, analysis of next-generation sequencing data, statistical analysis, computer programing
