Research Development of Fluorescent in situ Sequencing Technology Advised by Dr. George M. Church, January 2012 to Present Department of , Harvard Medical School • Co-developed fluorescent in situ sequencing (FISSEQ) technology • Responsible for implementation of sequencing chemistry and in situ sequencing; developed data analysis pipeline including image processing, base calling, short read alignment, and spatial analysis of gene expression • Continuing to develop next-generation FISSEQ library construction for deeper per-cell in situ sequencing, advanced automation, spatial bioinformatic methods, and multi-omic ap- proaches to measuring the genome, , and simultaneously in situ • Applying in situ sequencing to cancer biology to study spatial architecture of tumor and genetic architecture of cancer cell types Yeast Transcriptomics using RNA-Seq Advised by Dr. Junhyong Kim, May 2008 to September 2011 Department of Biology, University of Pennsylvania • Identifying evolutionarily conserved antisense transcription in order to test hypotheses about the function of antisense transcription in gene regulation • Responsible for experimental design, all wetlab work and sequencing, and assisted in de- signing and programming the computational analysis pipeline Genomics Research in Diverse African Human Populations Advised by Dr. Sarah Tishkoff, August 2009 to September 2011 Departments of Genetics and Biology, University of Pennsylvania Color Vision Research • Identifying the genetic basis of phenotypic differences in color perception among African populations • Responsible for data entry, database design and data curation, development and implemen- tation of computational analysis, and genetic analysis Transcriptomics Research • RNA-seq profiling whole-blood of diverse Africans in order to understand how genetic and environmental variation influences common variable physiologic traits and address questions of fundamental biomedical and clinical importance in under-represented African populations • Responsible for design and implementation of RNA sequencing and assisting with subse- quent data analysis Independent Research in Philosophy of Science Approved by Drs. Karen Detlefsen and Kok-Chor Tan, May 2008 to January 2009 Department of Philosophy, University of Pennsylvania • Researching modularity and self-organizational principles of life Research on Imprinted microRNAs Advised by Dr. Marisa Bartolomei, June 2007 to May 2009 Department of Developmental and Cell Biology, University of Pennsylvania • Attempted to identify the regulatory targets of microRNAs at imprinted H19/IGF2 locus in mouse and human tissues • Sole student researcher responsible for all wetlab work, and assisted in experimental design
