We develop biostatistical methods and bioinformatics tools for analyzing medical data, specially, genomic, proteomic, multistate survival (time to event) and dental data. We are also collaborating with the Conn Center to develop informatics tools for material genome. We are located in the Department of Bioinformatics and Biostatistics at the School of Public Health and Information Sciences of the University of Louisville.
