Academic Interests
-
Single-cell transcriptomics
- Unnecessary saying that this is the trend of the past few years. Let's jump in.
- Pseudo-temporal models are cool, but they are still a bit raw in terms of mathematical explainability.
-
Causality
- Correlation is not Causation: my new mantra.
- I have recently developed ALLSTAR, a causally reliable tool for omics data.
- I read "The Book of Why" by Judea Pearl.
-
Pharmacogenomics
- Finding genetic relationships between patients and medicaments is pivotal to enable personalized medicine.
- I am not working on this as much as I would want to.
Other Interests
- Hobbies: Photo-editing, Trivia-addicted, Movie-making, and Movie-rating.
- Sports: Soccer, Basketball, Tennis, and Beach-Volley.
