Research Overview
Dr. Park's interests are in bioinformatics, especially in computational and statistical analysis of large-scale genomic data from microarray-based technologies. The aim of his research is to develop and apply computational methods to identify disease markers from genomic data, to make model-based diagnosis and prediction of disease progression, and to construct gene regulatory networks for fundamental understanding of the biological mechanisms.
About Peter Park
Dr. Park received his BA and MA from Harvard and PhD from the California Institute of Technology, all in applied mathematics, and completed his postdoctoral fellowship in biostatistics at the Harvard School of Public Health.
