Dear all,

Happy weekend!  Tomorrow we will have our invited speaker, Dr. Ilya Korsunsky, introducing how to perform single cell RNAseq analysis on your laptop. Please join us. 

Time: Monday Nov 12th, 1:00 PM
Place: Building of Transformative Medicine (BTM), 2006B, conference room
Title: Getting started on single cell RNAseq analysis on your laptop: From 1 to 100,000 cells

Dr. Ilya Korsunskiy is a postdoctoral researcher in the immunogenomics lab (https://immunogenomics.hms.harvard.edu/) with Dr. Soumya Raychaudhuri. He received his PhD in Computational Biology from the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at NYU, with a focus on applied machine learning. His current work centers on the analysis of and methods development for single cell RNAseq data. Ilya works with closely with Dr. Michael Brenner’s group to analyze single cell data in the context of autoimmunity, with a particular focus on the role of fibroblasts in chronic inflammation. In methods development, he is working on a batch correction and multi-dataset integration method to perform joint analysis of single cell experiments.

Tomorrow Ilya will introduce how to perform single cell RNAseq analysis using Seurat and his latest work Harmony (https://github.com/immunogenomics/harmony). He will demo with examples, so please bring your laptop with Seurat and Harmony installed. 

We need more volunteers to present in the club!

For those who want to learn bioinformatics, please feel brave to join the Bioinformatics Club. We plan to invite 1/3 of speakers from outside, and 2/3 of speakers from our own members. You don't have to be an expert in a topic now. But as long as you decide to learn/conquer it, you are most welcomed to join us. We believe that "if you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough". We are here to help you choose the topics, make a schedule etc.

Please spread around. Thanks!


Best,

Xianjun Dong, PhD
