Adam visited City of Hope today to give a talk on “Inferring the dynamics of hematopoiesis from single-cell data.” City of Hope is a not-for-profit research center and hospital that hosts a large research hub with labs working on many basic and translational challenges in cancer biology.
Adam visited the Cedar-Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Grove (home to 2000 doctors and >100 research labs) to give a talk on “Modeling cell state transitions with single-cell transcriptomics.”
Adam spoke at the Society of Mathematical Biology annual meeting, at the Université de Montréal. He presented a talk in the developmental biology mini-symposium on ”Single-cell approaches to unravel the developmental trajectories of cells.”
Congratulations to Xiaojun for receiving a prestigious Viterbi fellowship for the second consecutive year! This award from the department will help to support his PhD studies in computational biology.
Thank you to everybody who contributed to the conference that was held June 6-7 at UC Irvine and made it such a success. Organized by Adam and Luca Pinello, we welcomed 160 people through the doors, heard 19 talks and presented >50 posters over two days. In all, we learnt a lot about mathematical and computational methods for single-cell biology!
Congratulations to students Megan and Xiaojun who both passed their screening exams this week! They now will join the lab to pursue PhDs. Megan is working on multiscale models of cell-cell communication; Xiaojun is developing methods to dissect transition dynamics from single-cell data.
Our recent study into the effects of EMT on immune-regulated tumorigenesis is now on the bioRxiv. We discovered that EMT dramatically affects epithelial-immune interactions and should be taken into account in models of carcinomas. The study was also featured in this week’s #mathonco newsletter maintained by Jeffrey West.
Adam visited Caltech today to give a seminar hosted by the Caltech Center for Single Cell Profiling and Engineering. He spoke about “The dynamics and regulation of cell state transitions inferred from single-cell transcriptomics.”
Adam attended the annual winter q-bio conference in the rather striking location of Ko Olina on O’ahu, Hawai’i. He presented recent work on ‘Single-cell communication network inference to reveal distinct temporal patterns of control during stem cell differentiation.’
