I am driven to harness latest genetic and genomics technologies to dissect the cellular and molecular underpinnings of regeneration.
As a model organism, I’m focusing on the freshwater flatworm Schmidtea mediterranea. I aim to develop and benchmark a hybrid single-cell transcriptomics pipeline (combining SPLIT-SEQ barcoding with long-read sequencing) to map, at high resolution, how gene networks orchestrate regeneration and cell division. By directly comparing this new SPLIT-SEQ-LRS method against standard protocols, I plan to deliver a more efficient, cost-effective workflow for generating deeply informative, data-rich portraits of individual cells. My attention will be on entire transcripts, where I can investigate post-adenylation and differential transcript usage mechanisms.
I am part of the Oxford Interdisciplinary Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership and my work is supported by the BBSRC. If you’re interested in collaborating please feel free to get in touch!
