Overview
About the project
The past two decades have provided unprecedented growth in data modalities and data availability within the biomedical research. As a result, methodologies for the multi-omic analysis of bulk (average profiles derived from hundreds to millions of cells), single-cell data or both are in continuous development. Our team has been involved in such developments working on multi-omic frameworks (STATegra framework + STATEgRa Bioconductor package), multi-omic DeepLearning based analysis (LIBRA - BioarXiv) and specific tools such as GeneSetCluster to summarize information derived from gene-set enrichment analysis. We are looking for highly motivated and skilled visiting students to work on one or several of the following challenges sub-projects:
- Upgrading STATegRA Bioconductor package to account for the novel developments, including the single-cell analysis applications and the integration with GeneSetCluster analysis tool.
- Novel Deep Learning-based methodologies for multi-omic analysis.
The Developing Bioinformatic Tools for Multi-omic Data Integration (Internship) project is offered at King Abdullah University Of Science and Technology (KAUST)
