Research summary

Alexander Gusev's research focuses on the genetics of cancer, combining inherited (germline) and tumor-specific (somatic) DNA information to understand disease risk and progression, particularly in prostate cancer and rare cancers. His work often involves large-scale statistical and computational methods, such as Bayesian modeling and fine-mapping, to link genetic variation to health records, gene expression, and clinical outcomes. This research aims to identify genetic markers that could inform cancer risk prediction and precision oncology treatment decisions.
