“Leveraging multiomics data in the study of human health and disease”
Talk abstract: Recent advances that allow us to generate molecular data (like genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) at a population-scale have enormous potential to advance our understanding of health and disease. However, there are many challenges in properly implementing and interpreting these multiomic data. This talk will discuss the role of multiomic data in epidemiological research, the challenges in using them, and recent work addressing these issues.

“Decoding allelic imbalance regulatory network with multi-omics and AI technologies”
Talk abstract: By leveraging multi-omics and AI technologies, we first identified that the epigenetic regulator MSL2 plays a pivotal role in establishing enhancer-promoter interactions to mediate the transition from monoallelic to biallelic expression in haploinsufficient genes associated with neurological disorders. Furthermore, I developed a deep learning model, which predicts enhancer-promoter interactions from scATAC-seq datasets, revealing disruptions of enhancer interactions in both colorectal cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.
