• Applied Reversible-jump MCMC and Machine learning models to high-dimensional omics data, facilitating the development of novel concordance metrics for cross-species analysis, indicating a 60% concordance in Circadian.
• Analyzed circadian biomarkers to evaluate sex and condition-specific effects across various brain regions in humans and mice.
• Streamlined multi-omics pipelines for preprocessing (STAR, Hisat2), significantly improving alignment rate by 20% and enabling high-fidelity downstream analysis of diverse data types (short-read RNA-seq, single-cell.
• Integrated multi-modal single-cell data using Scanpy and MultiVI, leveraging deep learning and probabilistic models to optimize cellular phenotyping with domain adaptation techniques.
• Applied mixed-effect models and GEE to derive insights for improving HIV treatment adherence and quality of life among affected populations and women workers in industrial zones.
• Conducted a mediation analysis for longitudinal data to examine causally the short-term effects of dry needling, using repeatedly measured mediators and outcomes to show that reductions in pain intensity mediated DDN's.
