Lab Introduction
Recent advances in high-throuput analyses such as microarray, and new sequencing technologies, increased the number of studies using omics data applied to cancer. The BigData revolution in Oncology allows to uncover the tumor biology in a deeper level, bringing new solutions in health more directed to cancer patients. This is possible through the identification of molecular profiles and signatures in cancer cells as well as prognosis markers, response to therapy, among others. Although crucial for the advancement in oncology, the utilization, integration and storage of BigData is currently a big challenge for bioinformatics. In this sense, the Bioinfomatics and Computational Biology Lab (LBBC) aims to analyze highthrouput data to broadly characterize molecular events in cancer to better understand this complex system.
