The research interests of the Khurana lab fall under the broad categories of genomics, computational biology and systems biology. Only about 1 percent of our DNA makes proteins, yet it has been the focus of the majority of studies in the past. Innovation in genomic technologies now allows us to interrogate the non-protein-coding parts of the genome, which has unleashed a revolution in cancer genomics. The signals from non-coding regions hold immense promise for use in cancer diagnostics and therapeutics.
