Research Focus

George Vasmatzis’s expertise spans bioinformatics, engineering, molecular biology, and computational biology, with a research program focused on applying genomic technologies to clinically actionable problems in cancer diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment selection. His laboratory operates as a collaborative “hub-lab,” bringing together molecular biologists, bioinformaticians, and pathologists to train clinicians and execute translational genomics projects. This multidisciplinary model has enabled the successful discovery and clinical validation of numerous cancer biomarkers, including evidence-based models that stratify patients for precision therapy.
