DattaLab


We develop biostatistical
methods and bioinformatics tools for analyzing medical data,
specifically, genomic, proteomic, multistate survival (time to event)
and dental data. We are also collaborating with the Conn Center to
develop informatics tools for investigating the so called material's
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.
