Our joint paper with the Lambert lab defining the role of K17 and immune landscapes of head and neck cancer immunotherapy published in Clinical Cancer Research
Together with Paul Lambert’s lab, we identified the roles of K17 contribution in HNC immunotherapy and the immune landscape switch from “cold tumors” to “hot tumors” using scRNA-Seq. The work was led by Wei Wang …
Our collaborative paper in scRNA-Seq of EBV lines published in PLoS Pathogens
Our collaborative work with Shannon Kenney’s lab used scRNA-Seq to identify the roles of IRF4 in type 2 EBV lytic induction was out in PloS Pathogens. Josh is the 2nd author leading the scRNA-Seq analysis. …
Our scRNA-Seq analysis of esophageal cancers is published in Nature Communications
In collaboration with Dr. Dechen Lin’s lab at Cedars Sinai Medical Center and scientists from the Shantou University Medical College, we used scRNA-Seq to characterize the tumor microenvironment of esophageal squamous carcinoma and identified CST1+ …
Our collaborative paper, quantifying iso-form expression for scRNA-Seq, out in Bioinformatics!
We contributed as a co-author to the publication of the Scasa method, developed by Trung Nghia Vu group at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, the first method to estimate isoform-level expression for 10X single-cell RNA-Seq.
