Sydney Precision Data Science Centre Statistical Bioinformatics Seminar Incorporating experimental medicine into single-cell multi-omics Special Statistical Bioinformatics Seminar Judith & David Coffey Invited Speaker Speaker: Dr Jacqueline Siu (Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, University of Oxford) Date: 16 December 2024 Time: 1 - 2 pm Zoom link: https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/j/84087321707 In-person venue: Mackenzie Room, Level 6, Charles Perkins Centre Abstract: Coordinated global efforts to create a comprehensive map of the human body using single-cell technologies has opened up avenues in computational biology and AI. However, there remains a pressing need to increase the data diversity from the ancestral diversity of participants to increasing the types of immune perturbations captured. This talk will focus on incorporating single-cell multi-omics to different experimental medicine approaches--such as deceased organ donors, vaccine and xenogeneic-antigen challenge trials--in order to understand healthy immune responses in lymphoid organs. About the speaker: Jacqueline Siu received her PhD at the University of Cambridge where she combined bioinformatics and experimental medicine to understand the function and differentiation of homeostatic human B cells in matched secondary lymphoid organs. To extend her interest in human tissue immunity especially after perturbation, Jacqueline joined the labs of Professor Mark Coles/ Professor Calliope Dendrou as a postdoctoral fellow, where she explored the influenza vaccine response of human axillary lymph nodes. In 2023, Jacqueline received the Wellcome Trust Early Career award to continue her interest in integrating human challenge models and single-cell genomics to understand early responding human B cells and their impact on long-lived antibodies.  Add event to calendar Apple  •  Google  •  Office 365  •  Outlook Web  •  Outlook  About the Statisical Bioinformatics Seminars The Statistical Bioinformatics Seminar is hosted jointly by the Sydney Precision Data Science Centre, and the Integrative Systems and Modelling Theme and Judith and David Coffey Life Lab in the Charles Perkins Centre. The aim of this series is to provide a forum for people working within the broad area of computation and statistics and their application to various aspects of biology to present their work and showcase their ongoing projects. It is intended to foster the exchange of ideas and build potential collaborations across multiple disciplines.   Keep in touch Copyright © 2023 The University of Sydney, NSW 2006 Australia Phone +61 2 9351 2222 ABN 15 211 513 464 CRICOS Number: 00026A Please add data-scie...@sydney.edu.au to your address book or senders safe list to make sure you continue to see our emails in the future.
