Richard Moffitt

Dr. Moffitt Received his B.S. and Ph.D. from the department of Biomedical engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory University, and completed his postdoctoral research in the Lineberger Cancer Center at the University of North Carolina. He Joined the BMI department at Stony Brook in 2017.

The Moffitt lab uses bioinformatics and engineering approaches to improve scientific understanding and to advance patient care in cancer, with a focus on pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Dr. Moffitt’s current research projects include:

• Predictive models in pancreatic adenocarcinoma, with a focus on precision medicine and patient response to therapy.
• Mixture modeling and next generation sequencing techniques to study tumor, stromal and immune contributions to tumor biology
• Translational bioinformatics and biostatistics methods development for tumor biology and medical data.
