Grant: Canada Research Chairs
University of British Columbia
$200,000.00
Data Science and Analytics
FY 2019-20
Summary
The objective of Dr. Ng's program is to develop tools to model and understand temporal changes in genomics data. Measuring and modeling molecular entities at a single time-point is insufficient to capture the complexity of many biological systems; truly systematic measurement needs to consider dynamic changes across time. With decreasing cost, longitudinal genomic data are accumulating quickly. Yet tools that help researchers to model temporal changes in genomics are inadequate. In this program, we propose to develop tools and algorithms that can be categorized into three layers: (A) a Data layer; (B) a Modeling layer; and (C) an Interpretation layer.
