Bioinformatics & Cancer Research

Our lab is affiliated to the Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer (IRIC) at the Université de Montréal (UdeM). Our multidisciplinary team develops bioinformatics tools and analysis pipelines, and leverages machine learning and other computational approaches to analyze omics data such as transcriptomic, chemogenomic, and proteomic data. Through fundamental, translational and clinical research, we help improve cancer treatment.
