Gordon Smyth

Division Head, Laboratory Head at THE WALTER AND ELIZA HALL INSTITUTE OF MEDICAL RESEARCH

Gordon Smyth's research group develops advanced computational and statistical strategies to analyze and interpret these huge data sets. In collaboration with other institute scientists, they examine which genes play essential roles in normal cell development and which genes are disrupted or activated inappropriately in any particular disease.

Gordon's goal is to learn how diseases originate by examining how genetic disruption comes about and how it might be controlled.
