Computational methods for stem cell biology and engineering
Computational methods are essential for characterising molecular programs that control cell-identity and stem cell-fate decisions. In this seminar, I will present our research on developing and applying computational methods for studying stem cells and stem cell-derived organoids. This will be followed by some initial results from using this knowledge and methodologies for cellular conversion and cell-fate engineering, a key foundation for tissue engineering, disease modelling, and regenerative medicine.

Computational systems approaches to spatial and multi-omics analysis of tissues and organoid models
Defining the molecular networks orchestrating human brain formation is crucial for understanding neurodevelopment and neurological disorders. In the first part of my talk, I will present my research work on elucidating the molecular programs that drive this highly dynamic process by reconstructing molecular networks that control human cerebral organoids formation using trans-omics data. Next, I will focus on spatial transcriptomics data analysis and present our findings on comparing methods for detecting...
