Keywords: Computational Genomics, Bioinformatics, Data Science, Machine Learning, Multi-Omics Data Integration, Single-Cell Sequencing, Complex Diseases, Gene Regulation, Epigenomics
Description of research activities: My primary research interest is developing computational, statistical and machine learning methods to understand cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying complex diseases. More specifically, I am interested in two related research areas: (a) integrative analysis of multiple biological data in order to uncover mechanisms of gene dysregulation in complex diseases; and (b) application of machine learning methods for the analysis of single-cell sequencing data (sc-genomics, sc-epigenomics and sc-transcriptomics) in order to identify specific cell sub-populations underlying complex diseases.
Research Opportunities
I am looking to recruit undergraduate and graduate students, bioinformaticians and postdocs. Please contact me if interested.
