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.

High-thoughput single-cell RNAseq analysis pipeline

I've built a simple pipeline and visualization tool to help collaborators go from raw gene expression counts per cell to exploring annotated cell-type specific gene expression data in a quick and reproducible way. Below is a quick video of a prototype of the visualization tool in action, showing the sort of data one can get from this pipeline. If you're interested in applying the pipeline to your count-based single-cell data, please get in touch!
