Research / Clinical Summary

Eleazar Eskin, PhD Assistant Professor, Computer Science & Engineering Cancer Prevention & Control Program Contact by Email

Dr. Eskin's research focuses on understanding the relationship between human variation and human disease. Specifically, his research examines how we can use high-throughput genotyping technologies to understand the genetic basis of human disease. These technologies allow for the collection of large amounts of information on an individual's single nucleotide polymorphisms. Collected from a population of healthy and diseased individuals, this information can lead to the identification of variation which may pre-dispose an individual to disease and provide clues to the disease's genetic basis.

Dr. Eskin is also interested in how we can leverage gene expression information and other observations, such as clinical data from the individuals, to provide additional insights into the genes involved in a disease. He is interested in applying these technologies to understand how variation in both the host genome and cancer cells affects the spread of cancer and cancer drug resistance.
