Dr. Elizabeth Proctor’s laboratory aims to characterize the systems biology of complex diseases at multiple scales (molecular, cellular, tissue and physiological) with the ultimate goal of providing tools for early diagnosis and identifying novel preventative and therapeutic strategies.

Her laboratory combines multiplexing experiments with computational modeling and machine learning to identify patterns associated with disease pathology, then manipulates the identified variables in cell culture and/or in animal models to test their ability to alter and control disease state.
