Consulting Services for Scientific Studies

alt text

  • My goal is to provide pragmatic sound bioinformatic and biostatistical assistance with all stages of research projects: from grant writing and project design to data analysis and manuscript preparation.
  • My approach begins with understanding the science of my clients’ project. Then, by interacting regularly as the project moves forward, we can iteratively work towards a successful completion of the project.
  • I have 15 years experience with a wide range of statistical and machine learning approaches for the analysis of “-omic” and systems biology data.
  • I can provide substantial computing power, and am available for consultation for basic informatics needs.
  • I offer training services for students and staff, either one-on-one or through group instruction with hands-on experience.
  • Ad-hoc consulting for time-to-time troubleshooting (e.g. addressing analytic questions from referees and reviewers), or on a per-project basis.
  • Ongoing consultations with national and international biotechnology companies.
  • Ongoing collaborations with researchers in bioinformatics/biostatistics, providing access to academic experts for projects requiring more long term collaborative approaches.
  • Flexible billing depending on the nature of the project.

To detect gene signature activation in breast cancer: AIPS represents the first tool that would allow an individual breast cancer patient to obtain a thorough knowledge of the molecular processes active in their tumor from only one individual gene expression (N-of-1) profile.

Building applications for interactive data exploration in systems biology: Our approach builds on the microservice architecture. Microservice architectures separates an application into smaller components that communicate using language-agnostic protocols. Packaging each service in a software container enables re-use and sharing of key components between applications, reducing development, deployment, and maintenance time. We demonstrate the viability of our approach through a web application, MIxT blood-tumor, for exploring and comparing transcriptional profiles from blood and tumor samples in breast cancer patients.

We developed a blood-based diagnostic test for breast cancer that may reduce false positive interpretations of suspicious mammographic results, based on how peripheral blood cells inform on the presence of breast cancer.
