Multivariate signaling activity and proliferation/apoptosis outcome data are analyzed using data-driven methods to explore intracellular and extracellular cross-talk and feedback mechanisms regulating hepatocyte decision-making processes. member of: mit biotechnology process engineering center [link] mit center for cell decision processes [link] [wiki] mit center for cancer research [link] funding: whitaker foundation graduate research fellowship [link] mit-pfizer hepatoxicity signaling collaboration [link] mit center for cell decision processes [link]
