S. Cenk Şahinalp develops computational methods (bioinformatics algorithms) for analyzing genomic data, with a strong focus on cancer genomics—reconstructing how tumors evolve and become genetically diverse from DNA sequencing data. The work also includes methods for genotyping complex immune-system genes, single-cell and single-molecule analysis, and privacy-preserving techniques for handling sensitive genetic data. In short, the research builds software and mathematical tools to interpret large-scale genetic information.
