What this research studies
This core provides biostatistics and bioinformatics support to bring together clinical records, imaging, and bulk- and single-cell molecular data from people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The team helps design studies, analyzes complex datasets, integrates multiple data types, and shares results across linked projects. They use modern computational methods and the UCSF Data Library infrastructure to make large, multi-modal datasets usable for researchers. By coordinating data generation and analysis, the core aims to make findings from different labs comparable and ready for follow-up studies.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who can contribute clinical data, blood, or tissue samples to participating research projects.
Not a fit: People without lupus, or lupus patients who are not enrolled at the participating sites or who do not consent to provide samples, would not be directly involved or likely to benefit from this core's activities.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could speed discovery of biomarkers and treatment targets that improve diagnosis and care for people with lupus.
How similar studies have performed: Integrating clinical and multi-omics data has already produced useful insights in lupus and other autoimmune diseases, although methods continue to improve.
