Research projects in the Bioinformatics and Computational Genomics research unit, directed by Dr. Benjamin Haibe-Kains, focus on the integration of high-throughput data from various sources to simultaneously analyze multiple facets of diseases, with a particular emphasis on cancer. Dr. Haibe-Kains will be using publicly-available genomic datasets and data generated through his collaborations to better understand the biology underlying diseases and to develop new predictive models in order to significantly improve disease management. To do so, he will use data produced by the ultra high-throughput next-generation sequencing technology recently acquired by the IRCM.
