Welcome to the Kooperberg Lab

The Kooperberg Lab specializes in statistical genetics and the analysis of nuanced, complex data known as “high-dimensional” data, particularly as it is applied to understanding the genes and proteins that underlie human disease. Dr. Kooperberg and his colleagues create new statistical techniques to extract useful biological information from patient data, which is an increasingly complex process thanks to the sequencing of the human genome and recent breakthroughs in high-throughput technologies for single nucleotide polymorphism, or SNP, genotyping, gene expression and protein measurements. 

Dr. Kooperberg is also involved in the Women’s Health Initiative (of which he is a steering committee member) and several of its ancillary studies.
