Biostatistics and Inference on High-Dimensional Omics Data -- Brooke Fridley (U. Kansas)

Brooke Fridley has extensive expertise in high-dimensional statistical genetics and is devoting her efforts as Director of The Biostatistics and Informatics Shared Resource at The University of Kansas Cancer Center to development of methods for data integration, including Bayesian methods, molecular clustering and gene set analysis approaches.  Pharmacogenomics is a topical focal point of her recent work.   Brooke has recently authored a number of important methodologic reports on (a few for gene set analysis are referenced below) and published pertinent software packages.  Methods papers outlining Brooke's approach may be accessed at the links below:

• Int J Neuropsychopharmacol. (2012)
• Genet Epidemiol. (2012)
• Stat Appl Genet Mol Biol. (2013)
• OMICS (2014) 

The current collaboration is the first for John Paul and Brooke.
