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.

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 handy database of ligand-receptor pairs. This database has powered analyses such as this one from the Miller/Kaplan lab, which identified extrinsic regulators of neurogenesis.

scClustViz - scRNAseq cluster assessment and visualization

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 an old prototype of the visualization tool in action, showing the sort of data one can get from this pipeline. See the newest version here!
