Research Interest:
Dr. Lyons-Weiler's research interests are in (1) optimization of disease prediction modeling in cancer and other diseases, including genetic, genomic and proteomic biomarkers for early detection and therapy response prediction; (2) optimization of survivorship prediction models; (3) decision modeling to optimize the integration of new clinical options into existing clinical workflows and strategies.
