Alboukadel Kassambara is a Health – Biology Scientist with ten years work experiences in Cancer Biology and Bioinformatics.
He has extensive experiences in statistical and computational methods to identify prognostic and predictive biomarker signatures through integrative analysis of large-scale genomic and clinical data sets.
He created a bioinformatics web-tool named GenomicScape, for an easy gene expression data analysis and visualization.
He developed also a training website on data science, named STHDA, which contains many tutorials on data analysis and visualization using R software and packages.
He is the author of many popular R packages for multivariate data analysis, survival analysis and data visualization.
