Multi-omics and single-cell omics approaches are transforming our understanding of stem cell-based regeneration of tissues and organs on the individual cell level. By generating and leveraging the high-throughput and large-scale omic data generated in our lab as well as those that are publicly available, we aim to develop machine learning and statistical modelling methods to characterise the identities of various stem cells and subsequently predict their fate and lineages.

PHD
In this project, we will be working on developing state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms that could integrate “trans-omics” data that cut across multiple regulatory layers (cell signalling, transcriptional, translational, and epigenomic layers) for reconstructing trans-regulatory networks. We will next identify the key nodes of these networks for finding key determinants that define cell identities and cell fate decisions. The knowledge and the predictive power acquired from your work will be transformative for next-generation machine learning-based precision stem cell therapy.
