Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher works on computational and genomic methods for understanding how genes are switched on and off in individual cells, particularly using single-cell and spatial transcriptomics (technologies that measure gene activity in individual cells and their location within tissue). Their work combines deep learning tools with biological questions in areas such as cancer, diabetes, neuroscience, and liver disease, often focusing on how neighboring cells influence each other's gene expression. Collaborative studies also touch on epigenetics (chemical modifications that regulate gene activity) and chromatin organization.
