RESEARCH
Graduate Researcher, Bhasin Lab - Emory University (2021-), Atlanta, GA
- Developing CAR-T target identification platform using single-cell RNA sequencing data from leukemia and vital tissues. Identifying targets or pairs of targets, including for logic-gated CARs
- Utilized supervised learning methods to predict protein expression from mRNA measurements by training with paired CITE-seq data, addressing poor correlation between ADT and RNA levels to accurately label distinct blast populations in MPAL
- Performed pediatric Pan-Leukemia transcriptomic analysis to identify 9 genes dysregulated in leukemia and over-expressed at diagnosis in AML, ALL, and MPAL
- Developed PedSCAtlas, interactive tool for analyzing compiled datasets of pediatric single-cell RNA-seq cancer datasets for pediatric cancer subtypes
- Performed single-cell RNA-seq analysis of pediatric mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), and comparison to other acute leukemia subtypes
- Validated our group’s 7-gene signature for identification of AML malignant blast cells using external single-cell and bulk RNA-seq datasets
- Assisted with various bioinformatics projects in the lab, such as the development and maintenance of the web resource Survival Genie, single-cell analysis of T-cell acute lymphoid leukemia immune microenvironment, and the single-cell analysis of diabetic foot ulcer healing
Undergraduate Researcher, Jo Lab - Georgia Institute of Technology (2019-2020), Atlanta, GA
- Performed scRNA-seq, scATAC-seq, and lncRNA analysis to study endothelial cell reprogramming in the carotid artery
Data Analysis Internship - Open Medicine Institute (2018), Mountain View, CA
- Developed a single-cell RNA sequencing protocol for their patient data
- Developed and implemented personalized healthcare solutions
