Research Group: Cancer Bioinformatics
Jianmin established the Cancer Bioinformatics group in 2010. His current research is focused on network-based integrative analysis of multidimensional “-omics” datasets generated by deep sequencing of cancer genome, transcriptome and epigenome. The goal of this analysis is to identify candidate driver mutations and pathway aberrations in a specific type of cancer, which could lead to the discovery of novel biomarkers with clinical utility.
