TITLE: "Comprehensive study of gene expression outliers and their regulation mechanisms in pan-cancer." ABSTRACT: With the ultimate aim of improving the management of cancer, many groups have studied the molecular characteristics of tumors. Typically, the heterogeneity of cancer evolves rapidly to adapt to its microenvironment, helping cancer evade selective pressures and progress. These various subclones […]

TITLE: "Massive parallelization of massive sample-size survival analysis." ABSTRACT: Large-scale observational health databases are increasingly popular for conducting comparative effectiveness and safety studies of medical products. However, increasing number of patients poses computational challenges when fitting survival regression models in such studies. In this paper, we use graphics processing units (GPUs) to parallelize the computational bottlenecks of […]
