Research

  • My research focuses on developing and applying statistical and bioinformatics methods for molecular biology and medicine. I am interested in methodologies to analyze single cell data, discover fusion genes, circular RNAs, and driver genes from cancer, quantify isoform and gene expression from transcriptomics and metagenomics, predict drug responses and drug repurposing using pharmacogenomics data.

    Further details can be read at the webpage of my research group: https://ki.se/en/research/research-areas-centres-and-networks/research-groups/trung-nghia-vus-research-group

    Our group has developed 20 statistical and bioinformatics/statistical tools which are mostly published in a peer-reviewed scientific articles and publicly available for academic use. Most of tools are implemented using R, Rshiny, C/C++ and available at the Biostat Wiki
