Bioinformatics Club, Dec 10th, 1:00 PM -- "High Dimensional Omics Data Visualization"

[Xianjun Dong]

Dear all, 

On Monday we will invite Dr. Walid M. Abdelmoula to talk about the math behind some popular dimensionality reduction techniques: PCA, t-SNE, and the new hSNE. He will also show examples and live demos from some applications in 3D mass spectrometry imaging and single cell omics.  Please join us. 

Time: Monday Dec 10th, 1:00 PM
Place: Building of Transformative Medicine (BTM), 2006B, conference room
Title: Math Behind the High Dimensional Omics Data Visualization

Dr. Abdelmoula is a postdoc in the Department of Neurosurgery at BWH. He did his PhD in biomedical engineering from Leiden university (the Netherlands) on developing computational tools to integrate and analyze anatomical structures with its underlying bio molecular signatures. These computational tools were used in some  applications to reveal molecular intra-tumor heterogeneity as well as to uncover biomolecular changes associates with neurological disorders of Migraine and Alzheimer. His current research is focusing on developing methods to identify molecular patterns in the large volumes of 3D mass spectrometry imaging that typically contains millions of spectra each of which has thousands of features.

Note: This will be our last talk in 2018. Thanks to all speakers and every participant in 2018. Without your supports, this club won't keep running. I am here asking you all to keep supporting us in the coming 2019. We need speakers, in all levels, from beginners to experts. Don't be shy! If you have no idea what to present, feel free to talk to me. We could figure it out together!
