Funded Activity Summary

Statistical methods for analysing multi-source microarray data and building gene regulatory networks. I will devise a statistical learning technique that does not force a gene to be assigned to exactly one category. This technique reflects the biological reality that a gene can belong to two or more functional categories. Therefore, the new technique will improve a model's ability to identify regulatory genes in different types of cancer; these regulatory genes can be targeted by new anti-cancer drugs resulting in a more effective treatment. I will model gene regulatory networks using microarray data from multiple sources. These networks will be used to identify regulatory cliques - a group of genes that are vital for a cellular function. This will improve our understanding of debilitating conditions such as asthma.
