Michael L. Whitfield, PhD, Chair and Professor of Biomedical Data Science, Professor of Molecular and Systems Biology.

Principal Investigator of Center for Quantitative Biology, New Hampshire 

Professional Interests:

My lab uses genomics and computational approaches to identify the molecular basis of autoimmunity and fibrosis with an emphasis on systemic sclerosis (SSc).

We identified the first molecular subsets in an autoimmune disease, similar to those that have now been well studied in cancer.

We perform RNA-sequencing, analyses of tissue resident microbiome in patients, gene-gene network analyses and use machine learning approaches to interrogate the genetic and phenotypic changes in patients.
