Cancer Research Interest

Disease Site Focus: Melanoma
Research Focus Area: Informatics
Type of Research: Translational
Research Keywords: proteogenomics, multiomics integration, WES, transcriptomics, proteomics
Research Interest Statement: Our goal is to identify novel cancer/melanoma specific driver proteins using novel proteogenomics pipelines. The nationally-renowned UAMS proteomics core positions us to lead in developing proteogenomic workflows that incorporate genomics and/or transcriptomic signatures into proteomic databases. This will enhance our detection of key cancer/melanoma proteins as we consider multiple omics levels in target identification and prioritization.
