New technologies can now measure genes, proteins and immune features in single cells and map where cells sit within tissues. These single-cell, spatial and immune "-omic" methods produce huge datasets that can show how healthy tissues work and how disease changes cells.

- Grants
- 1 known grant, through Jun 2029
What they work on
- Enhance the research competitiveness of junior faculty in genomic data science and experimental genomics through mentoring and a supportive research environment.
- Grow the shared Single-Cell Genomics and Genomic Data Science Cores so investigators can generate and analyze single-cell, spatial and immune-cell -omic data.
- Promote integrative projects between computational and experimental scientists, including a pilot program, to translate single-cell dynamics into insights about human disease.
More about the research
Making use of them requires close teamwork between experimental biologists and computational scientists who analyze genomic data.
Why it matters
By providing single-cell genomics and data-science resources and mentoring new investigators, the center could speed studies of how cells and tissues change in disease. Researchers across the region would gain access to these tools. Over time, their work may improve understanding of healthy tissues and disease processes in a range of human conditions.
Known grants
From NIH and NSF research grants. Labs often have other funding we can't see.
