DrShila Ghazanfar

Senior Lecturer in School of Mathematics and Statistics

Faculty of Science

RESEARCH INTERESTs

Dr Ghazanfar's interests are in developing statistical bioinformatic and biomedical data science approaches for the meaningful integration of complex and high dimensional biological datasets, particularly across various technological or omics modalities, and using these statistical and computational techniques to extract novel biological insights. Her multidisciplinary knowledge and skills in statistics, statistical bioinformatics, and computational biology enable her to devise strategies to jointly model the processes generating diverse data sources.

Shila's research aligns with the Faculty of Science Research Strengths - Complex Systems, Precision and Digital Health, Data and Decisions.
