> [[https://bit.ly/TOscRNAseq|Join the Toronto scAnalysis Working Group Slack!]] ---- I am a PhD candidate in Molecular Genetics who started in the Bader lab in May, 2016. I am very excited about the possibilities offered by high-throughput single-cell RNA-seq, especially to investigate intercellular signalling in complex tissues. == Projects == === CCInx - Cell-cell interaction prediction === As part of our ongoing work developing tools to predict cell-cell interaction networks from -omics data, Ruth Isserlin has put together a [[CellCellInteractions|handy database of ligand-receptor pairs]]. This database has powered analyses such as [[https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuron.2016.07.037|this one from the Miller/Kaplan lab]], which identified extrinsic regulators of neurogenesis. I'm currently working on CCInx, an R package to generate and visualize bipartite graphs of cell-cell interactions from single-cell RNAseq data. A working development version is [[https://baderlab.github.io/CCInx|available here]]. '''Aging Mouse Brain'''<
> [[https://hscrb.harvard.edu/people/methodios-ximerakis|Methodios Ximerakis]] and [[https://dbmi.hms.harvard.edu/people/scott-logan-lipnick|Scott Lipnick]] of [[https://hscrb.harvard.edu/lab/rubin-lab?|Lee Rubin's group]] are studying the effects of aging on the mammalian brain. We are collaborating with them to understand the changes in cell-cell signalling, predicted using CCInx. The results are available [[http://shiny.baderlab.org/AgingMouseBrain|online]] or as an [[https://baderlab.github.io/AgingMouseBrainCCInx/|R package]]. === scClustViz - scRNAseq cluster assessment and visualization === I've built an interactive reporting tool for single-cell RNAseq results called [[https://baderlab.github.io/scClustViz|scClustViz (or sCV for short)]]. Hopefully it will both help biologists and bioinformaticians better collaborate while working with this data, and improve open science by making it easier to publish data in an accessible manner. '''Human Liver Atlas'''<
> [[https://www.uhnresearch.ca/researcher/sonya-macparland|Sonya MacParland]] and [[https://www.uhnresearch.ca/researcher/ian-mcgilvray|Ian McGilvray]] led the creation of the first single-cell atlas of a human organ, the liver. Jeff Liu and I were honoured to perform the analysis for this project, the results of which can be viewed in scClustViz [[http://shiny.baderlab.org/#human-liver-atlas|online]] or as an [[https://baderlab.github.io/scClustViz/#human-liver-atlas|R package]]. '''Embryonic Mouse Cerebral Cortex'''<
> I worked with [[http://www.lmp.utoronto.ca/research/faculty-research-database/yuzwa-scott|Scott Yuzwa]] and [[https://lab.research.sickkids.ca/miller-kaplan/current-members/|Michael Borrett]] of Freda Miller's group to understand the precursor population responsible for building the mammalian cerebral cortex, and its relationship with adult neural stem cells. The single-cell transcriptomes from timepoints throughout cortical neurogenesis in the mouse brain can be viewed in scClustViz [[http://shiny.baderlab.org/#mouse-cerebral-cortex|online]] or as an [[https://baderlab.github.io/scClustViz/#embryonic-mouse-cerebral-cortex|R package]]. == Education == MSc in Biochemistry at the University of Western Ontario, supervised by [[https://www.schulich.uwo.ca/biochem/people/bios/Litchfield.html|Dr. David Litchfield]] BMSc in Cell Biology and Biochemistry at the University of Western Ontario == Teaching Experience == TA for MBP1010H - Quantitative Biology and Statistical Methods (2015 - 2017) TA for MMG1001H - Foundational Genetic Approaches I: Genomics (2019 - 2020) TA for MMG1002H - Foundational Genetic Approaches II: Programming for Biologists (2020 - 2021) == Publications == Clarke ZA, Andrews TS, Atif J, Pouyabahar D, '''Innes BT''', !MacParland SA, Bader GD.
