I’ve joined Dr. Stephen Burgess lab in the Biostatistics Unit at the University of Cambridge. Under the supervision of Dr. Janne Pott, I’ll be performing Mendelian Randomization simulation studies to investigate how stratified Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) can lead to the detection of disease causal mechanisms varying across strata of the population.
I worked at the Sanger Institute in Cambridge, U.K. analyzing single-cell data from iPSC-derived microglia to unveil the genetic architecture of neurodegenerative diseases.
Jacqueline is a PhD student at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and the University of Cambridge. Before starting her doctoral studies, she worked as a bioinformatician for a year in Dr. David Adams' Experimental Cancer Genetics group at the Wellcome Sanger Institute. Jacqueline obtained a BSc degree in Molecular Sciences from the University of São Paulo (USP) and carried out undergraduate-level research in the Laboratory of Neurobiology and Stem Cells of the Institute of Biomedical Sciences of USP, under the supervision of Dr. Marilene H. Lopes.
I am a PhD student in Clinical Neurosciences at University of Cambridge, working on developing a vascularized brain organoid/assembiod model for studying neurodegenerative diseases (eg., ALS/FTD) in Dr. Andras Lakatos' lab (Department of Clinical Neurosciences) and Professor Yan Yan Shery Huang's lab (Department of Engineering).
My background is in Biological Sciences. I obtained my MSci at the University of Bristol. During my undergraduate degree, I became extremely interested in plant sciences and decided that I wanted to purse a PhD in plant/crop sciences.
Qi conducts training on data management, command-line shell, data analysis of RNA-seq and whole-genome DNA methylation data, as well as machine learning. She is a certified Carpentries Instructor.
