Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Thomas S. Risch's research interests encompass a range of biological and engineering topics, as indicated by his diverse publication record. He has investigated gene expression and its relationship to cancer, specifically examining MACC1 expression in colorectal cancer and its association with chromosomal instability and patient outcomes. Risch has also explored the functional genomics of hereditary tumor syndromes, aiming to improve genetic diagnosis. His work extends to animal behavior and ecology, with studies on the distribution and roost site selection of bats, as well as the aggregation size drivers of southern flying squirrels. Additionally, Risch has contributed to research on biomarkers that differentiate physiological states in bats, including those affected by White-nose Syndrome. His publication history also includes work on the simulation of conveying processes in vibratory conveyors, demonstrating an intersection with engineering applications.
