John Lawson
I’m a biomedical data scientist who applies bioinformatics and data science approaches to understand gene regulation. Currently, I’m working on my PhD with Dr. Nathan Sheffield at the University of Virginia where I am creating novel computational methods to understand gene regulation and applying them in the context of cancer epigenetics.
Experience
Check out some of my work:
- COCOA: An R/Bioconductor package that uses covariation of epigenetic signals across individuals to annotate interindividual epigenetic variation
- MIRA: An R/Bioconductor package that aggregates DNA methylation in related loci across the genome to infer regulatory information
