Lussier Group

The Lussier Group, based at the University of Arizona, specializes in the integration of genomic data science with clinical decision-making to advance precision medicine initiatives. Their research focuses on developing innovative disease detection methods that leverage pathway-level composite biomarkers, addressing limitations seen in traditional single-gene approaches.

Utilizing advanced simulation studies, the group emphasizes the importance of accounting for patient variability in gene expression and environment interactions, thereby enhancing the detection of pathway dysregulation. Their findings demonstrate that single-subject pathway detection methods significantly outperform conventional cohort-based techniques in identifying clinically relevant biomarkers in heterogeneous populations.
