Marc Lenburg, PhD

Dr. Marc Lenburg is a Professor of Medicine, Division of Computational Biomedicine; Professor, Bioinformatics Program, College of Engineering, Professor of Pathology; Deputy Director, CTSI Translational Bioinformatics Core; and Co-Director, Boston University Microarray Resource. Dr. Lenburg’s primary research interest is using genomic approaches to understand the physiologic response to tobacco smoke and the molecular pathogenesis of tobacco-related diseases such as lung cancer and COPD with a goal to translate these findings into new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches that will ultimately improve patient outcomes. This research makes extensive use of high throughput gene expression profiling techniques (microarrays and RNAseq) and my core area of expertise is the computational analyses of these data and the development of new bioinformatic methods and approaches to these types of data.
