Hi all, We’re excited to announce a Special Statistical Bioinformatics Seminar this Friday, with details below. Dr Aaron Lun is visiting from Cambridge University and will be speaking about the latest in analysis of single cell transcriptomics data. The talk will focus on discussion on the current challenges faced with such data as well as opportunities for further research. Date: Friday, December 14th 2018 Time: 10 - 11AM Location: Level 4 Large Meeting Room, Charles Perkins Centre Title: Challenges and future directions in single-cell data analysis Bio: I graduated from the University of Sydney with a Bachelor of Science, majoring in Molecular Biology and Genetics. I did my PhD in Bioinformatics at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute for Medical Research with Gordon Smyth, working on statistical methods for analyzing ChIP-seq and Hi-C data to study chromatin structure and organization. I am currently working as a research associate with John Marioni at the CRUK Cambridge Institute, developing computational methods for analyzing single-cell RNA sequencing data. I maintain around 14 Bioconductor packages focusing on a range of genomics data analyses, but am probably best known as the cat on the support site. See you then! Cheers, Shila
