Short introductory description of main research program / research streams.)

Our lab鈥檚 general research interests are in the areas of oncology bioinformatics, multimodality image analysis, and treatment outcome modeling. The primary motivation is to design and develop novel approaches to unravel cancer patients鈥� response to chemoradiotherapy treatment by integrating physical, biological, and imaging information into advanced mathematical models. These models could be used to personalize cancer patients鈥� chemoradiotherapy treatment based on predicted benefit/risk.
