The Ji Research Group at Stanford Medicine is focused on projects involving personalized medicine, specifically through genetic and genomic approaches in oncology. Their work aims to improve targeted cancer therapy development and make accurate predictions regarding cancer therapy efficacy and the identification of clinically relevant cancer mutations. The group emphasizes establishing paradigms of individualized medicine and facilitating the introduction and validation of these approaches in clinical studies, ultimately leading to the development of the next generation of cancer diagnostics and treatments. They also oversee the Gastric Cancer Registry, which was launched by the Gastric Cancer Foundation in 2011. This registry is designed to gather comprehensive data from individuals affected by stomach cancer and their family members, incorporating lifestyle, health histories, and environmental factors. Through advanced genomic analyses of the gathered physical samples and data, the research group aims to uncover the molecular complexities of gastric cancer and map the associations between specific genetic errors and patient outcomes. The Gastric Cancer Registry was created in memory of Beth Weintraub Schoenfeld as a gesture of generosity from her family.
The Computer Science department emphasizes research potential. GRE General is currently optional but recommended for some tracks.
