Pierre R. Bushel

Biography

Pierre Bushel, Ph.D., and his staff use their expertise in bioinformatics to design analytical methodologies for genomic data analysis and develop databases for environmental informatics. Their research focuses on integrating phenotypic observations, end-point measurements and associated biological information with expression and genomics data for a better understanding of the biological mechanisms and pathways that are perturbed by stressors. The group has several ongoing projects: Integrating phenotypic observations, end-point measurements and associated biological information with expression and genomic data for better interpretation of the biological mechanisms and pathways that are perturbed by stressors Specialized phenotypic clustering and statistical model building for classification and prediction Gene expression data mining, biological theme extraction from expression data and biomedical literature Toxicogenomics and environmental health sciences eQTL analysis Association of genome characteristics and perturbed expression patterns In addition, Bushel and his group provide bioinformatics, data analysis, computational biology and statistical genetics/genomics support as well as software, database and application development expertise to NIEHS Division of Intramural Research investigators at no cost.
