We conduct research in computational biology and statistical genomics with applications to high throughput
biological assays and health research.

The RG lab develops computational tools and statistical methods for the analysis of high throughput biological assays with application to health research. In particular, we have been working on the following problems:

  • Statistical methods for flow cytometry: Subpopulation identification (gating), classification, and more
  • DNA-protein interactions and histone positioning: analysis of ChIP-chip and ChIP-Seq
  • Robust estimation/testing for differential gene expression
  • Bayesian inference and stochastic computation: Model selection, Variable selection
  • Mixture modeling and clustering
  • The RG lab is located at the Clinical Research Institute of Montreal (IRCM) and the university of British Columbia.
