The Lab

Research in the lab involves generating and analyzing large-scale cancer genomics data to study carcinogenesis and tumor progression at a molecular level, and to identify molecules that may have clinical applications for better diagnosis, prognosis or therapeutic use, for example.

We establish and use multiple technologies to generate targeted and global landscapes of genome, epigenome and transcriptome profiles of tumors at bulk, single-cell and spatial resolutions, and apply diverse and integrative analytical approaches to these datasets. Most of our projects utilize next-generation-sequencing (NGS) and include a computational data analysis component. We also undertake experimental approaches to functionally characterize promising candidate molecules identified from our genome-scale studies.

Our research is supported by extensive collaboration with other groups at McGill University, elsewhere in Canada and internationally.

Our lab is located in the Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Institute of Genomic Medicine at McGill University. We are also affiliated with the Department of Human Genetics and Goodman Cancer Institute at McGill University.
