Vertically integrated statistical modelling in multi-layered omics studies. This project will develop an adaptive statistical modelling framework that uses information from many omics data to discover a collection of stable and clinically significant biomarkers. Results will enable researchers to better understand the underlying biological system of complex diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer and diabetes.
