“Using single-cell computation and biology to overcome tissue and disease boundaries”

Our understanding of diseases has been limited to tissue-level, and recently single-cell-level of disease-relevant tissues without considering other tissues within an organism. I strive for a systematic understanding in health and disease, specifically cancer and obesity, in a multi-tissue multi-omic single-cell manner. In this talk, I will present part of my published and also unpublished work delineating our efforts in single-cell transcriptomic dissection primarily of obesity-exercise axis and melanoma immunotherapy response in mouse and human.
