Angela Rose Brannon, PhD
Bioinformatician
My Role at MSKWe post reviews for MSK healthcare providers who have at least 30 patient experience surveys completed. If you do not see reviews for a provider, it may be because they do not yet have enough survey responses, or the provider may not be part of the group of healthcare providers included in the survey.
Only outpatient providers are included in the survey. Healthcare providers who only work in the hospital or in urgent care are not included in the survey. Pathologists or researchers who do not provide direct care to patients do not have reviews.

About Me
- Director, Clinical Bioinformatics
As the Director of Clinical Bioinformatics, I focus my clinical efforts on ensuring that the genomic results returned to our patients are of the highest quality possible.
On the research and development side, I am actively involved in the development and validation of updated or new DNA and RNA sequencing assays. In collaborations with pathologists, the Early Drug Development Service, and/or Global Biomarker Development Program, we are also analyzing patient data to develop improved algorithms for identifying patient cohorts who will better respond to various treatment modalities.
A bioinformatician (BY-oh-in-for-ma-ZIH-shun) is a scientist who makes computer software tools that are used to analyze genetic (DNA and RNA) data.

Disclosures
Doctors and faculty members often work with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology, and life sciences companies, and other organizations outside of MSK, to find safe and effective cancer treatments, to improve patient care, and to educate the health care community.
MSK requires doctors and faculty members to report (“disclose”) the relationships and financial interests they have with external entities. As a commitment to transparency with our community, we make that information available to the public.
