Arash Jamshidpey is an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Mathematics and Irving Institute for Cancer Dynamics. Arash is interested in probability, statistics and their applications in computational biology, in particular in population genetics, phylogenetics, genomics and cancer. Over the past years, he has been working on the effects of environmental changes on various aspects of some continuous and discrete population models in which mutation and selection interact and fluctuate in time. This includes clonal population models that are important for understanding the co-evolution of cells and/or clones in solid tumors. Arash also studies mathematical models of genome evolution, genome rearrangements (structural variations) and gene-order phylogeny. More recently, he is interested in the applications of mathematical and statistical tools in cancer genomics.
