From Code to Cell: Bridging Spatial Omics, Machine Learning, and Cell Engineering
September 4 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Virtual Event
Speaker: Dr. John Hickey
Abstract: Advancements in single-cell multiplexed imaging coupled with sophisticated computational algorithms have greatly augmented our views into complex tissue microenvironments. In this seminar, I will present the approaches we have developed to deconstruct intricate tissue datasets and connect them across scales from molecular to multicell modules. Particularly, I will share a story how we analyzed melanomas treated with effective and ineffective T cell therapies.
Speaker Biography: John is an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Duke University with secondary appointments in the Cell Biology and Biostatistics & Bioinformatics Departments of the School of Medicine. His lab is composed of a diverse set of engineers and scientists solving health problems by using and developing systems biology tools and technologies to describe and control spatial relationships between cells in tissues. John has been recognized by a number of organizations for his work including receiving: Human Science Frontiers Award, NSF CAREER, American Cancer Society Postdoctoral Fellowship, NCI Postdoctoral Fellowship, ARCS Scholar, Siebel Scholar, and NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
