The purpose of this project is to identify prognostic features in resectable pancreatic head adenocarcinoma and use these features to develop a machine learning algorithm that prognosticates survival for patients pursuing pancreaticoduodenectomy. A...
High-throughput and streamlined workflows are essential in clinical proteomics for standardized processing of samples from a variety of sources, including fresh-frozen tissue, FFPE tissue, or blood. To reach this goal, we have implemented single-pot ...

This patient was a 96-year-old woman. She was referred to our hospital with abdominal pain and vomiting. The levels of the tumor markers CEA and CA19-9 were elevated, at 39.47 ng/mL and 918.5 U/mL, respectively. She was diagnosed with peritonitis wit...
MOTIVATION: One of the main challenges in machine learning (ML) is choosing an appropriate normalization method. Here, we examine the effect of various normalization methods on analyzing FPKM upper quartile (FPKM-UQ) RNA sequencing data sets. We coll...
