Single-cell map of burn wound using larval zebrafish model is published in Journal of Immunology!
Our work, led by Yiran and Parth, employed integrated bioinformatics analyses of 6,495 neutrophils and 12,623 macrophages from scRNA-Seq of larval zebrafishes in both no-wound and burn conditions across 3 timepoints and mapped zebrafish neutrophil …
Parth & Athena presented at Biomedical Data Science and Genomics Retreat at Wisconsin Institute of Discovery
Athena presented two talks selected from abstracts at WI Immunology and MidWest TME 2024
Athena presented two talks: single-cell and spatial analysis of T-myeloid cell interactions in Head and Neck cancer immunotherapy (Wisconsin Immunology 2024 at WID) and integrated omics analysis of anal and pre-cancer TME (MidWest Tumor Microenvironment …
Lab Presentations – April 2024
Athena presented the single-cell analysis of squamous cell carcinoma at the CMP seminar and a poster about vulvar cancer at UWCCC Cancer Retreat 2024. Zhili presented a poster of single-cell analysis of iPSC-derived neutrophils at …
Josh’s paper, characterizing immune microenvironment of fallopian tubes and their impacts to ovarian cancer, is published.
We employed a data science approach to reanalyze 88 scRNA-Seq datasets across 58 donors, including FTs, HGSC tumors, and relevant adjacent and normal tissues. Integrated bioinformatics analysis on the comprehensive datasets led to the following …
Zhili Chen joins the lab to pursue neutrophil fate studies in burn
Zhili Chen from the Cellular and Molecular Biology (CMB) program joined our lab as a joint PhD student with Anna Huttenlocher’s lab. Zhili will study the fates of neutrophil heterogeneity in burns using zebrafish models. …

Athena, Parth, Anqi, and Josh presented talks and posters about single-cell and spatial analysis of tumor immune cells at the 51st AIC conference in Chicago last weekend. Josh won the AAI Young Investigator Award for …
Our joint paper identifying CD79b+ neutrophils is published
Together with Melissa Meyer from Lynn Hedrick’s lab at La Jolla Institute, we have identified a novel neutrophil state (marked by B cell marker CD79b) associated with the early stage of human melanoma.
