Research

    Professor of Biostatistics at Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health and Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Professor Parmigiani is a statistician whose work creates statistical tools for understanding cancer data, with particular focus on genetic epidemiology and genomics. For example he uses Bayesian modeling and machine learning concepts for predicting who is at risk of carrying genetic variants that confer susceptibility to cancer.  For another example, he is interested in addressing the challenges of cross-study replication of predictions by constructing predictors that learn replicability from multiple studies. His overarching goals are to increase the rigor end efficiency with which we leverage the vast and complex information generated in today’s cancer research; and to foster the use of data sciences as a common thread to facilitate interactions between fields and academic cultures.
