My research in the Diaz Lab involves creating processing pipelines for single-cell data from primary and recurrent human glioma samples. I've created a single cell database that allows the user to look up genes expression across 100,000+ cells and their corresponding cell type, diagnosis – ultimately aiding drug target research.
