Using Data Science to Drive Precision Medicine
Daniel Rotroff is Assistant Staff in the Department of Quantitiative Health Sciences and Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University.
My lab focuses on using computational approaches to investigate and better understand the development and treatment of complex diseases. We use a wide-range of computational and experimental approaches using -omics technologies to investigate many aspects of precision medicine, such as biomarker or risk allele discovery for both drug response and disease outcomes. We have several ongoing projects in the areas of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, hepatocellular carcinoma, among others. My graduate work was conducted at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and at the National Center for Computational Toxicology at the US EPA. My postdoctoral work was spent in the Bioinformatics Research Center at North Carolina State University.
