In this role, my main responsibilities include developing and carrying out analytical plans and statistical/bioinformatic analyses to study the effects of osteoporosis anabolic therapies on osteoblast progenitors as well as osteocytes in clinical and pre-clinical studies. Computational analysis on single-cell RNA-seq, bulk RNA-seq, and multi-omics seq obtained from post-menopausal women and female mice treated with osteoporosis anabolic therapies (either sclerostin inhibitor or PTH) will be analyzed. Additional bioinformatic analyses will be conducted to prioritize genes regulating bone formation via existing human genetic variation association analyses.
