Leveraging Multi-View Data to Better Understand Complex Disease Processes
How a particular disease develops and why people have different outcomes depend on the relationships among many factors, including molecular and environmental conditions in and outside the body. Dr. Safo’s group develops methods that rigorously combine information from multiple sources or views to investigate which factors are most important and how they interact. Her innovative methods can identify heterogeneous subgroups of the population, requiring different treatment approaches, and provide greater insight regarding disease etiology.
