Implementing bioinformatics for clinical NGS and pharmacogenomics.Helped build the ZODIAC website (http://www.compgenome.org/zodiac) to visualize predicted interactions among genes analyzed by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project. See J. Nat Can Inst (http://jnci.oxfordjournals.org/content/107/8/djv129.abstract)Built a Galaxy bioinformatics server and analyzing patient cancer samples.
