The Shen Laboratory focuses on the epigenome and its interaction with the genome in various diseases, with a specific emphasis on female cancers and cross-cancer comparisons. The Shen team uses bioinformatics as a tool to understand the etiology, cell of origin, and epigenetic mechanisms of various diseases and to devise better approaches for cancer prevention, detection, therapy, and monitoring. Team members have extensive experience with genome-scale DNA methylation profiles in primary human samples and have made major contributions to epigenetic analysis within The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).
