Ritu Pandey, PhD

Associate Research Professor, Cellular and Molecular Medicine
Associate Director, Translational Clinical Bioinformatics
Coordinator, Biomedical Informatics
Research Interests: 

Data driven research. Our interest is to investigate underlying molecular events in tumor cohorts by integrated computational analysis of clinical and molecular data from multi-omics projects. Translate the datasets into insights that advance understanding of biomarkers/therapeutic targets and response to treatment. Current focus is to evaluate stratified patient populations for transcriptome, proteome and immune signatures in colorectal tumor with specific gene mutations.

Molecular Medicine Grad Program:
