Understanding of disease mechanisms by single-cell sequencing technologies

Treatment for pediatric cancer has improved immensely over the last decades, largely thanks to an increasing understanding of disease mechanisms. As a computational biologist, I hope to contribute to elucidating these mechanisms by applying suitable algorithms or developing novel ones for various research questions in the single-cell field. At the single-cell facility, we assist other researchers in performing single-cell experiments. My role involves collaborating with them to determine appropriate analysis methods and providing advice and updates on recent developments in the field. In parallel, I am involved in several internal development projects aimed at improving our workflows and expanding our capabilities—for example, by implementing emerging technologies such as nanopore single-cell sequencing and spatial transcriptomics. I believe advancements in single-cell sequencing can help us get one step closer to the answers we're seeking, and ultimately contribute to better care and treatment for every patient.
