Leverages genome diversity data and evolutionary models to advance precision medicine, including the identification of clinically relevant variants and the extraction of additional biological information from GWAS projects using an evolutionary prism.
Achieving a deeper understanding about tumor initiation and progression, commonalities and differences among cancer types, and identifying signatures of selection. In addition, researchers use evolutionary models and approaches to develop new therapeutic strategies.
