Bradley McIntosh Broom, Ph.D. Professor Department of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, UT MD Anderson Cancer Center. Degrees: Ph.D. (Computer Science, University of Queensland, Australia. 1988). B.Sc. (First class honours, Computer Science, University of Queensland, Australia. 1983). B.Sc. (University of Queensland, Australia. 1982).

Research Interests

Dr. Broom's research interests are in high-performance computing in general and strategies for effectively supporting the efficient implementation of computationally-intensive statistical methodologies in particular.

Selected Projects

Next Generation Clustered Heat Maps (NG-CHM)

NG-CHM are highly interactive, dynamic clustered heatmaps that enable the user to see an overview of the entire heatmap, and via interactive navigation controls, to zoom and pan across the heatmap to see details of the heatmap at many levels of resolution. Other interactive controls enable searching for specific heatmap entries, generating production quality PDFs, and linking out to information related to rows, columns, and individual heatmap entries.
• NG-CHM for TCGA data

Geneclust

Geneclust is an implementation of the Geneshaving method for finding tight clusters of co-expressed genes. We have recently developed an implementation of Geneclust that runs entirely in a web browser, and is suitable for moderate size datasets.
• Browser-based implementation of Geneclust
